Changing the text size works fine for me as well (using Mozilla). If the issue isn't fixed yet, it might be a browser specific problem. If you still need help, try posting some more info (like what browser and browser version you are experiencing these problems with) and possibly even a screenshot or two.

You are not in control.

If it's my wish to change your font-size in and with my browser I can do so at my will.

If you're absolutely DETERMINED to force a visitor to view text the way *you* want it displayed, the only solution I can think of would be to convert all of your text to images. (Not exactly a user- or search-engine-friendly solution...)

Otherwise, I think you'll just have to accept that you do not have total control over the visitor's browsing experience and design around that as best you can.

HTH,

Terry

It's not that I want to control a visitor to my site I just fell that it keeps the site uniform for folks that don't even know how to control their browser options. I have seen text control do on many sites and not by coverting text to image maps. check this site for an example: view this site you will note that this text is an add in to the page but does not change size. this is what I am looking for, if you know how this was done thats great if not and you happen to find out please let me know.

pls. look at amber_big and amber_small for 2 #'s screenshots. #1/ with a large and #2/ with a small font-size. :D

No special tricks used, just screenshots.

I suspect that we are talking to cross purposes here. Your example site's fonts are resizable on a whole page basis. However, you were saying that you were having one section resize and the rest stay the same. At a guess, perhaps you had a section of text that was using the browser default font and are changing your browser default to get the effect that you want to avoid? You can fix this by adding a class="main" to the definition of the controlling element, which will usually be a <td>. I.e. change from <td> to <td class="main">. Then it will use that CSS class. You can change properties by picking a different CSS class. You can even create your own CSS class (in stylesheet.css) and use that.

Hth,

Matt

Thank you,

This is what I was looking for, I wil try this later tonight when I get home. If the text does change size I would like all text on the page to change and I beleave this is what your telling me.

I.e. change from <td> to <td class="main"> :D

Also If I mis-typed something sorry, I should have typed "change evenly". In the furture I will review my post better befor I submit.

Thank you for your help :rolleyes:

I tryed the replacing <td> with <td="main">
Matt said change it into <td class="main"> and so you did ...

but you also threw in a lot of rubbish:



please remove that a.s.a.p

(san serif?)

and you will have the illusion that while using a crappy browser everything is working like you want it.

Please also be informed that visitors to your site with bad-eyesight and the same crappy type of browser (IE-type) will not be able to enlarge the text so they will probably be leaving your shop for another one.

On the other hand you may gamble that visitors with bad eyesight have meanwhile switched to a decent browser like Mozilla (freeware) or Opera (freeware) or Firebird (freeware).

With those browsers one can enlarge the text like one wants and you can definitively not do anything against it.

riverock1 · December 23, 2003

John,

Please cool-out I really just want to learn not trade works with you, thank you.

However you may be rihgt about my browsers, I will load the other browsers (Mozilla, Opera, Firebird) and check the outcome.

As for the <td="main"> where does it go.

I will remove this I see how it would be in conflect

THANKS............

As for the <td="main"> where does it go.

It's not <td="main">

It's <td class="main"> and that is what you have inserted.

At the moment the centre-text in the URL you gave earlier <http://www.sunshowerart.com/shipping.php> looks like:

<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="100%" border="0">
         <tbody><tr>
           <td class="main">
<font size="2" face="arial, geneva, san serif">

<b>Sun Shower Art</b><br>
We Ship our products via <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/track?loc=en_US">UPS</a> or 

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.usps.com/shipping/trackandconfirm.htm?from=home&page=0035trackandconfirm">US Postal Service.</a> Items are shipped within 48 hours of confermed payment.
<br>

<font size="2" face="arial, geneva, san serif">
<b>Tracking Information.</b><br>
etc. etc.

Pls. remove everywhere you have inserted it and find it because it is in conflict with class="main".
