Not merely frowned upon but in fact, strictly speaking, actually not possible. > we *definitely* need to lock down the file size for the navigation or > it breaks the design. You can define the font-sizes in pixels (e.g. 12px) and that will prevent users of Internet Explorer 6.0 and below, currently around 80% of users. But of course anyone with a Geko based browser, (Netscape, Firefox, Seamonkey and a few others) will still be able to resize the text eaisly. You can go one step further and put all the text that you want to be unresizable in little graphics and use the graphics. Now you'll cover I.E. and the Gekko browsers, but not Opera, which has a zoom function that resizes graphics as well. And of course these tricks will only cover *current* and *past* versions of certain browsers, but who knows what future versions will allow? Certainly it's perfectly possible for anyone smart enough to design a browser to design one that can resize *anything*. Or do darned near anything else that a computer can do to your web page. > How can I specify a font size that's bulletproof as regards > increasing the browser's text size? Or you can recognize that the web is not paper, browsers are not books, that computers can be programmed by darned near anyone these days, and that you are not in control of any of this, and design your page so a few text resizes won't break it. -- Ed Seedhouse ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
