272685 - The headers seem to change in a different way, comparing to Internet Explorer.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Steve]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I've been designing the page at http://www.stensa.nl/ and I use Mozilla, but
when I change the html codes for the headers --> <h1>test</h1> to <h5>test</h5>
the text should be displayed smaller in the webbrowser. This works with Internet
Explorer, but it goes the other way around with Mozilla. <h1> is smaller than
<h5>. This is very tricky, because it would be easier if it was the same in
Mozilla. So for instance <h5> should be smaller than <h1>. This would give it
more compatibality.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change <h1>test</h1> to <h5>test</5>
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Normally in Internet Explorer, the <5>test</5> text should be displayed SMALLER,
but in Mozilla it is displayed BIGGER.

Expected Results:  
Showed it smaller instead of bigger.

Utterly gratuitous testcase.

While there are some people with interesting ideas working on Mozilla, so far as
I know there aren't any sociopaths, which is what it would take to decide to
change around the way <h1>-<h6> work like that. And, if they had, yours wouldn't
be the first report, or even the 500th duplicate. So, the only assumption left
to make is that you've messed up in your HTML. I'm betting on a typo, since
three of the fourteen tags in your bug report are typoed.

When you are writing HTML, the validator at http://validator.w3.org/ is your
*friend*: sure, it will tell you about things you don't care about, but it will
also tell you about stray </td> tags in your main frame, and probably about
whatever you've done to get what you expected to be <h5> bigger than <h1>.
