Restrict font size in non-IE browsers

[aaronjonmartin]

Hi,

I have a webpage which gets all its style definitions from a css file, in Internet explorer the font size is fixed as in you cant make it larger or smaller than it is displayed. However when i check the site in non-IE browsers such as mozilla firefox it is possible to change the text size which in some cases breaks up my layout. I was just wondering if anybody knew a way i can stop this and set the font size to a fixed size in non-IE browsers aswell as IE?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know font-size(s) defined in px units (in HTML or in CSS) never resized (in IE). Otherwise a browser can resize it.

There is a reason why fonts are allowed to be scaled. It is accessibilty feature for people who cannot see your set font size. I would suggest coding your pages so that fonts can be resized in any browser and not just non-IE.

But regarding your question: No, there is no way of fixing the font sizes in other browsers.

You could always convert all your text to images of text - that way (Opera aside ;o) your text will never scale.

I hope, however, you don't take my suggestion seriously, although it is valid... Vragabond's advice (allow for scaling) is a far better solution ;o)

Hope this helps,
Dan
