font gets smaller in iFrame

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 18.2008

Hello,

I’m trying to display a page using iFrame, but it seems that the font of the page in the iframe is smaller that when I open the same page directly.

Am I doing something wrong? How can I fix this issue?
Because I really don’t want to modify the size per browser through javascript.

This only happens in Firefox (v3). In Opera, IE and Safari there is no problem work great.

Main page:
HTML Code:

[code=html]
<html>
<body>
<iframe src=”frame_page.html” frameborder=”1″ height=”250″ width=”100%”></iframe>
</body>
</html>[/code]

The frame page:
HTML Code:

[code=html]
<html>
<body>
<pre><font style=”font-family: courier new; font-size:10pt;”><div>Some text here</div></font></pre>
</body>
</html>[/code]

Thank you.

&lt;html lang="en"&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;frame_page.html&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;pre style="font-family: courier new; font-size:.8em;"&gt;Some text here&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

pt units are for printing, use relative units. http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/font-size

@the_dpauthorAug 19.2008 — I'm not sure it's a good idea to use relative units. I'm relying on the fixed pixel size of the letters (that's why I use a mono font). You see I'm working on an editor, and the only reasonable way to make the text cursor is with a layer.

The valid document statement did no solve the issue, and with it I now unable to use styles [b]top[/b] and [b]left[/b].

Where can I read about creating a valid document?

@FangAug 20.2008 — top and left only work on positioned elements (relative or absolute).
