Thread recap: reports the layout appears "zoomed out" in IE and already checked CSS. Replies from and rightly pointed at environment-level causes, but if the issue persists across machines there are a few page-level things to verify that are easy to miss.

A short, focused checklist:

  • Ensure a standards doctype is the very first line so IE does not fall back to quirks mode:

    <!DOCTYPE html>

  • Confirm IE's rendering mode. Open Developer Tools (F12) and check "Document Mode" / "Browser Mode". If it is anything other than the standards mode for the browser version, add or correct the X-UA-Compatible header early in the head (server header takes precedence over this meta):

    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

  • Search all CSS and JS for scaling directives that affect the root: look for zoom:, transform: scale(, -ms-transform, or explicit body.style.zoom in scripts. These can be applied conditionally (IE-only stylesheets or conditional comments) and silently scale the whole page.

  • Isolate the culprit by binary elimination. Serve a stripped-down copy of the page (no CSS, no JS). If the stripped page renders normally, reintroduce CSS/JS one file at a time until the change appears. That reliably points to the offending stylesheet or script.

Caveats and notes: zoom is nonstandard and behaves differently in IE. The X-UA-Compatible meta must appear before any linked CSS or scripts to be effective. If the problem only appears on a single machine, local browser settings or accessibility/DPI settings may be involved (as others suggested), but persistent cross-machine issues are almost always a doctype/compatibility or stylesheet/script-scaling problem.

Looks fine for me on both Firefox and IE8. May be a problem on your end then ;)

It might be that your browser has its zoom way low. Try typing CTRL+0 (zero) or going to View > Zoom > 100%

You probably bumped your mouse wheel. It normally sets the size.
