text sizing

SAMSON · 06-21-2003, 03:08 PM

Im making a site and design looks food... But if anyone will change text parameters in his browser (increase size, etc) then the whole design will be deformed...

Is there any java code or simply an html command that will forbid changing size of the text?
Im a beginner in web making so I will really appresiate your help.

Regards.

You can do that with CSS

If you add something like this to the head section of your page, then all the text in the body section of your page will be sized to 10px and when someone tries to increase their font size it shouldn't change, or atleast I don't think so.

Here's how my example would look:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
font-size: 10px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
Your content here
</body>
</html>

You can give it a try and experiment with it and see if it works. :webdev:

imo if the text size changes make the site look wrong i think thats thats bad web design what if someone with bad eyesight visits your site and they can only use this small font?
