Just like PayPal

[Vanessa]

I have a HTML site with some light FLASH usage.When I change the text size the text and pictures all go out of sync.What can I do to disable the ability to change text size. This is an example of what I want to do:www.PayPal.comyou can't change a darn thingThank you.V

Using relative values is usually a good thing but if you are sure you want to disable your page from resizing I would suggest using absolute values, or to be more exact: Pixels.Like this:

<span style="font-zise: 14px">The text with 14px size</span>

I for one, can change the text size at www.paypal.com, as I am using FireFox. Px is actually a relative measurement as well.The only fixed measurements are:

    * in: inches — 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters.    * cm: centimeters    * mm: millimeters    * pt: points — the points used by CSS 2.1 are equal to 1/72nd of an inch.    * pc: picas — 1 pica is equal to 12 points.

@DeathRay2K, I've read that px IS a fixed value in an e-book I saw a while ago.It's weird, the offical W3C site says differently Anyway, Firefox and Opera can resize even fixed values. Only IE would have a problem changing px (meaning that IE don't resize text written in pixels)The e-book I read also suggests that if you want your text to resize in IE, use em.1em is the size the normal text size2em is double the size0.5em is half the normal sizeetc.

you should never not allow font size changes - its not good practice - old, blind, and partial blind people surf the web too you know.

Yeah, I suggest you start coding your website for more screen resolutions. If your website gets messed up with larger text, I shudder to think what it looks like in a smaller monitor.

thanks for the help.I'll work on the code more. I wouldn't want to discourage others needing larger/smaller fonts anyways. Didn't think of that.Thanks neways all!V
