Craziest Site on the Net?

6 Comments

We've been shopping for new office furniture recently prior to an impending office move. During my trails to find a good supplier we bumped into the website of these fellas - Hudson's Office Furniture Ltd, in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.

Now, we've all seen those completely inaccessible sites before that only cater for Internet Explorer users - but not like this one. For some reason that is obviously beyond my web design expertise this site has managed to make all its text and graphics are about 50 times larger than normal in any browser other than IE. I don't think I'd know how to pull this off even if I wanted to!

Take a look in both IE and FF - the difference is quite hilarious :)

    BTW, it doesn't do that on FF for Mac or Safari. Oddness.

    The problem is that they have used the CSS property font-size-adjust on the body element. I assume IE either doesn't support it or ignores values that are plain wrong.

    They have set it to 10, which means that if the font-size is set to 10px, it would actually be 100px.

    According to the W3C Site Times has a normal aspect of .46
