How do I lock pages text size in visitors browsers? - 10/21/2002 15:50:56
I was wondering if anyone knows of a code that will keep the text on your page one size, no matter how someone sets their text view on their browser. I have seen a few sights that will do this. My site gets thrown all out of wack when you view the text in a large format in IE.
Thanks,
Rob

You can specify the font size by adding this to the head of your HTML Document.
<style>
body {font-size: 12px}
</style>
That should help you.

Just a question or a thought, what about someone who has poor vision that requires a larger font in order to check out your site???
Of course pages are going to be off when the font is enlarged, but this feature is there for a reason...in the interest of smart, professional and good web design, I am going to suggest you leave this feature of the visitors browser alone.

Thanks,
But none of the suggestions above seem to work. Just Jay, the site I am doing is for a company who is not looking for any Yahoo site hits. And none of the patrons are disabled, in sight anyway. There are some who use a 15 in. monitor running 800x600 with medium text in their browser, and some who use a 18 in. LCD run in 1280x1024 with extra large text in their browser. Their varied complaints is what has driven me to post here. Does anyone have any suggestions such as scripts I can use without having to completely re-think my entire site layout.

You could try designing the site with different CSS with different font sizes and try getting a JS to detect the screen resolution and use that particular CSS. To the best of my knoweldge, you can not take away the menu function of a peice of software, no more than you can change the photo on my desktop. The company can also streamline the hardware they use. You do not need " hits" from Yahoo, or to be disabled to want to look at something with a larger text. To be honest it sounds like they just need something to COMPLAIN about, because every site can NOT be tailored to EVERYONE' s preferences. Some people just need to bite the bullet and either follow the " norm" to some degree or live with the changes that they have made.
Okay - getting off the soap box now...

Rob,
A thought. You might remind them that the web is not the same as a printed page where the format is retained by the position of the inks on the paper.
There are many web designers that spend a lot of time educating their clients to this truth.

AMEN!</soapbox>
I just had another thought...what are you going to do for those people that TILE their windows on their desktop...so that they can look at more that one thing at a time...disallow that so they can change the size of a screen??? Its going to turn your job into a never ending rat race....

I don' t understand, where would I put
<style>
P { font-size : 14pt }
</style>
?
I' ve never done anything in html, just frontpage. But I NEED to have a static font size for my page, otherwise the layout goes crazy. If you want to check it out you can go to http://betawebsites.com/storefront
None of the backend is up yet, but you can see how if you change the font size my website goes to hell.

Put this code below in your head tag.
To increase/decrease the font size, just change the number 9.
If you have several pages, best to make a link to a style sheet [:p]
Put this in Head tag:
<style>
<!--
body { font-size:9pt; }
font { font-size: 9pt }
-->
</style>
