Text size problem

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 09.2003

Hello there all you happy people!

It struc me today that if you edit the text size on the Internet Explorer browser | View | Text size > Medium the text changes size lol :p

Well, I found this very irretaiting since people visiting my site could have their browsers text settings on Smallest or Largest and in that case my sites text looks all messed up.

So i went to GameSpy.com and noticed that this does not happen to their text when you edit the browser settings – the text remains the same size on their website!

How can I also do this?

Many thanks!

@CharlesAug 09.2003 — [font=georgia]But how do you know how big I need the print to be? You would do much better to simply make a page that works no matter what size the text is. But you will have to stop using TABLEs for layout.[/font]

@DaveSWAug 09.2003 — I suppose the correct answer would be 'if you have to'. *sighs. Gamespy use this declaration:

body {

background-color:#005500;

color:#000000;

font-size:11px;

font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;

margin:0px;

}

If your site is completely unreadable then I suppose you'll have to do it as a temporary measure. Until you can make a cool site in css...

Success!
