Fixed font size in web page regardless of browser settings

[andyoye]

If I use medium text size for IE, my web site looks ok but if I change to large or largest text size, all the text get messed up.
Is there a way for fix the font/text size in html so even if users changes their browser setting, page stays the same?

thx

Yes, there is but don't you think that will annoy users who want to change the size?

The correct answer is to tell you to design your site so that it looks good no matter settings the user has on their browser.

The wrong answer is to tell you to give defined values to your font sizes to prevent them from changing:

<span style="font-size:12pt">I will not change font size irregardless of browser settings</span>

No, giving a specified size to the content will "fix" it - as I stated in my above post.

...irregardless...

Must be an Illinois thing. Happily, this word is still considered nonstandard. (Use regardless instead)

isn't "irregardless" the oppositism of regardlessness'es?

Whether your'e a DBA or not, take heed of the wise words spoken here.
Build a page to be flexible.

If we told someone to build a database table with a date column stored as a string instead of a date would you say that was good advice?
By the way that might be a rubbish example, I'm a web designer and not a DBA, but I hope you get the meaning.
