Form Size

[MrPantsTm]

Is there any way to change the size of forms and how they are displayed? When people viewing the site change the size of the font on there systems the form sizes stay the same. Is there anyway to control this?

Yup... define font size in percents:

input{ font-size: 100%; }
select{ font-size: 100%; }
... etc.

could you explain that a little further since it's not working for me. thanks!

OK, First tell us what do you exactly want with forms - change look of form elements (textbox, button, blah), increase size of elements when user changes text size (I thought that was the question) or something else.

define the sizes in ems if you want it to work in all current browsers.

{
font-size:1em;
}

you can use 2 decimal places as well e.g. 0.85em, amd 1em is about 12pt at the default setting in most browsers
