Size of shopping cart is HUGE when using IE

Hello, Two days ago the fonts and image sizes of my shopping cart has ballooned when using IE. When using Mozilla the pages look fine. , but when logging on using IE (various versions) it looks much different. Can you help. The page is located at http://www.glutenfreepromise.com/shop

thanks.

Re: Size of shopping cart is HUGE when using IE

Only a shot in the dark as there are few differences in your stylesheet
Change

#logoWrapper{
	background-image: NONE
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	background-color: #ffffff;
	height:01px;
	}

to

#logoWrapper{
	background-color: #ffffff;
	}

Re: Size of shopping cart is HUGE when using IE

back to basics. I am using V1.3.8a. Problem started less than one week ago. The only changes I have made were changes made using the zencart admin panel.

the displlay has been normal for several months prior to this.

the website looks fine when using mozilla and the problems only exist when using IE. the website is http://www.g l u t e n f r e e p r o m i s e .com/shop

thanks

Re: Size of shopping cart is HUGE when using IE

Check your site here: http://validator.w3.org/

Usually when that happens, it has to do with an HTML error in the code before the stylesheet is called. I don't know why it would be browser-specific, though.

Re: Size of shopping cart is HUGE when using IE

This may seem basic but... Go to Internet Explorers "View" menu. Check "zoom" and make sure it is at 100% and that "text size" is set to medium.

Re: Size of shopping cart is HUGE when using IE

Kobra, I am not entirely sure what info you want from the PHP, etc. I am not an overly tech savvy person. Here is what i am hoping you are looking for:

Used PHP extensions: mysql
Apache version 2.2.11 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.9
MySQL version 5.0.81-community

Please let me know if i have omitted any information you may need. Thanks.

To follow up on additional posts:
It is definitely not the zoom and text size. These have been checked and it is happening from a variety of computers (approx 8 different ones).

Re: Size of shopping cart is HUGE when using IE

It would appear your IE Font size problem is here:

<!--bof-branding display--> <div id="logoWrapper"> <div id="logo"><a href="http://glutenfreepromise.com/shop/"><img src="includes/templates/classic/images/" alt="" /></a></div>
<div id="taglineWrapper">
  <div id="tagline">**<h1> <h1>**</div>

As you did not close the H1 tag, IE is using the same Font size for everything afterwards; which is your entire page.

The above suggestion to Validate your code was a good one. Regardless of with or without problems, valid code always makes troubleshooting easier.

http://validator.w3.org/ << Bookmark as you could be using it a lot. :wink:

Re: Size of shopping cart is HUGE when using IE

Thanks. But I can't find where that code is located at in the directory. Do you have any thoughts about the location of it? Thanks again!
