I've been coding my site and it looks perfect in IE 8 but when I view it in Safafi, Chrome, and Firefox. Everything is unexplicably smaller. How do I make the webpage look normal like it does in the IE 8 browser?

My site is at : http://www.jjosephs.byethost22.com/visibility/fixed/index_2.htm

I've been messing with he code for days now trying to get it to work in all 4 browsers. I've pasted the css code below, maybe something will jump out at you css gurus.

Make sure it isn't something like you are zoomed in on IE8 because font-size:7.5px; is supposed to be really small.

Aaron Harun
Yeah, I was zoomed in on IE :-/. It's the same fine print across all 3 browsers so I got cross-browser compatability at least. Going to increase everything by a certain ratio to see if I can a page which doesn't blind my users.

@Julian: don't forget to mark this as the correct answer.

Looks great in IE7, Chrome, Safari, FF, except the transparent .png images don't work in IE6. Nice job!
