turn off text size control of browser

[arzoo]

is there a way to control or not move the page text size even if the user uses large font when viewing their browser?

i currently use css to make a menu and some other things fit in boxes, however when the user uses the largest text in the browser, the words take up more space and will wrap to the next line and really look weird.

i saw some sites where the text doesnt change even if you increse font size or others that adjust the boxes as the font size changes.

i prefer the former, if possible. but i'll work with any solution

thanks.

Only IE will ignore the user's request to change the font size, and then only if the size was specified in certain units, pixels being one of them.

Though I would recommend not doing any of this at all. If a user increases the text size, it's because their eyesight is too poor to read the text at normal sizes. If you block people from using this browser feature, then all you would have succeeded in doing is making your site useless to those people.

Use similar units to define the size of the container if you want the container to grow when the contents grow.
