John Smart Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Hi.I have an issue with my site, whereby I have been using <div> and <span> to write text, create tables etc.The issue is, that it doesn't allow the user to change the size of the text, ie, for the poor sighted person, they can't view the text in a much larger font size. Is there an attribute that gets round this? Sorry if this appears a dumb question - I'm very new to html!Thanks,John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I think the problem stems from CSS.If you define a set font-size in pixels or points then the browser will not be able to re-size the text.But I think if you set the font-size with (em) browser text re-sizing will still work.em just increases/decreases based on default size.

Guest FirefoxRocks Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 By using the em or ex unit, you can ensure consistent sizing on all the elements on your page.However I would like to know what browser is not resizing your text. Every browser from IE5 can resize text, and IE7 introduced page zooming so I'm curious to what browser you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
