^ Dude have you tried setting to 1024 and upping the windows font sizes to 9 or 1o point? display settings -> appearance -> advanced.


it doesnt enlarge web page fonts tho .. xps folders and that stuff


Thats why microsoft has 120dpi fonts.

Settings -> advanced... use 120dpi fonts.

Sorted, enlarged fonts. I use it on my TVPC.

I browse the internet with it on. Enlarges pretty much all fonts to my knowledge. Those that dont get enlarged, I just use the ctrl + + or ctrl + - to enlarge stuff on the web in IE7.

Safari is the sh*ttest of the lot, how the hell can you possibly like that POS.

Firefox... also considerably sh*tter than IE.

No... web developer standpoint here... IE7... AWESOME... firefox... holds your hand, covers up peoples crap non-validating code, by displaying pages with missing tags and all sorts of script errors. IE7 at least will show either NADA... or state "er.. its broked".

So for developers especially IE7 is better than firefox :) Helps avoid bugs, and looking at the website eggtastico linked in another thread, appears firefox has more limited JS support than IE.

Pro web developers use FF, and know about IEs lazy standards implementations and rather novel ways of dealing with code to which you adapt accordingly. +1 for the Firefox fans.

try this is firefox and IE.

Code: [Select]



woo im a title that someones forgotten to close the tag for<br /></head><br /><body><br />In IE you wont see this as it doesnt try and compensate for poor coding. In firefox the lovely cuddly creature that it is will lovingly show you this message despite this.... thus hiding a developers bugs from the developer.
