I wonder what a partially sighted user would thing of these 'improvements'. Would they be glad that now they can see images a little easier and the layout seems to break less or would they be annoyed at the sudden appearance of a horizontal scrollbar?
I think web developers have an irrational fear of scrollbars :-) They are tools to scroll a window, not signs of bad design. I have never encountered a friend, family member or other "civilian" who has a problem scrolling in either direction if necessary.
For folks who need to increase the text size for a specific page (perhaps because the designer set microscopic font-sizes) a true zoom, rather than a text resize, preserves the line-length proportions in a fixed-width layout.
Or would they be using screen magnification software anyway, and it wouldn't make a difference to them?
Probably not. There are far more important issues to get bogged down in ;-) -- Al Sparber - PVII http://www.projectseven.com Fully Automated Menu Systems | Galleries | Widgets http://www.projectseven.com/go/Elevators ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
