I have one problem with a website i am working on, it's to do with the font. In IE if you hold down Ctrl and move the scroll button on your mouse you can change the font to be bigger or smaller (if you didn't know that, stop reading now because you can't help me).

Is there a way i can force a font to stay the same size? I tried telling a table to be Size= i also tried CSS. maybe someone knows a better way and can show me some code. Anyone??

 
I think this is a browser function and I doubt that it can be controlled. Netscape has a similar function.

There's always a better way...
 
You can acomplish what you require with css by setting the font size in point size. This does however have a down side. It prevents disabled users resizing your text for easier reading.

{ font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-style: normal;
font-size: 8pt;}

Infinity exists! - I just haven't worked out a way to get there yet.
