Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / October 2006iCab bullet scaling...
When viewing local .html files on my machine (Tiger, just before 10.4.8 - I'm just a tad scared of the 4.8 update), the bullet points in the <li>s don't scale with the font when changing browser text-size view in iCab (3.0.3) until browser is refreshed manually. Quite comical effect! But I better not say more until someone can second this observation.

Just say, what you wanna say.:-) - I've observed exactly the same... - Until yesterday, where I reinstalled iCab on my newly upgraded QuickSilver and setup all preferences like I wanted them to be. While setting prefs, I suddenly noticed that iCab refreshed itself automatically without having to press the 'Reload' button. - I observed the same on my OS 9.2.2, where I also have iCab 3.0.3. - Both on OS 9.x and X, I use iCab to identify itself as MSIE 6.0 for Windows to be able to view some IE specific websites... On Os 9.2.2 it's a 'must' to press the reload button to obtain new settings. - And just for fun, I've now tried it again to change font sizes in OS X version, - this time - again - no auto-refreshing with new settings... cheers, Erik Richard Signature~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KMLDenmark by Erik Richard Sørensen, Member of ADC <kmldenmark_NOSP@M_stofanet.dk> *Music Recording, Editing & Publishing - Also Smaller Quantities *Software - For Theological Education - And For Physically Impaired *Nisus - The Future in Text & Mail Processing <http://www.nisus.com> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > When viewing local .html files on my machine (Tiger, just before > > 10.4.8 - I'm just a tad scared of the 4.8 update), > > Sure that's right, if you use the 'Software Update', but if you download > and install the 10.4.8 Combo Update, you don't need to fear anything. Hi Eric, I gave up using the auto update a long time back, I "download only" and update at my leisure from the particular package concerned. True, I go via the update OS X software. You seem to be suggesting not even to do this? To get the combo from the Apple site? I have rarely had trouble doing my way, it is just I have heard a few things from people about trouble they have had with 4.8 and I am so pleased with my set up that I am holding back from actually installing the already downloaded package... > > the bullet points in the <li>s don't scale with the font when > > changing browser text-size view in iCab (3.0.3) until browser is > > refreshed manually.

I will fire something off to iCab (not that they will be able reproduce it! But they are good people and take things seriously. It does not always happen. I will observe more closely the effect of different html and css on this...)

To get the combo from > the Apple site? I have rarely had trouble doing my way, Yes, I'll recommend the use of the ComboUpdate downloaded from the Apple software site and not the 'Client Update'. Using the combo update will also 'go back' in the software and update everything that might not be fully updated using the client update. > it is just I have heard a few things from people about trouble > they have had with 4.8 and I am so pleased with my set up that > I am holding back from actually installing the already > downloaded package... I know that the combos are more than twice the size of the client versions, but I find it worth using the combo updates. I have never had any trouble when using the combo updates, but sometimes smaller or larger problems either using the client versions or the automatically Software Update, which only updates the most needed things. - The 'Software Update' is based on the client version of the updates from Apple. I have also read and seen people having some troubles with the 10.4.8, but reading 995 of these postings in the groups that I'm subscribing to, I can see that most of these problems are related to either G5 1,8ghz+, PB G4s or MacIntel based computers and not 'normal' G4 stationary machines. Just yesterday I setup an older Dual G4/500mhz with 10.4.8 and it works great, - no problems at all. OK, it's also a totally clean install on a brand new HD... >>>the bullet points in the <li>s don't scale with the font when >>>changing browser text-size view in iCab (3.0.3) until browser is [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > will observe more closely the effect of different html and css on > this...) Good idea! I too know that they'll appreciate this. - Smaller companies like iCab and Opera are always listening more to what we - the users - can come up with. - It's also us, who are the 'real testers'.:-)) cheers, Erik Richard Signature~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KMLDenmark by Erik Richard Sørensen, Member of ADC <kmldenmark_NOSP@M_stofanet.dk> *Music Recording, Editing & Publishing - Also Smaller Quantities *Software - For Theological Education - And For Physically Impaired *Nisus - The Future in Text & Mail Processing <http://www.nisus.com> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > Hi Eric, I gave up using the auto update a long time back, I > > "download only" and update at my leisure from the particular [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > great, - no problems at all.
