p.s. this is just a temporary solution for now but will use it again, just configuring my css to % and that

Unless you explicitly define font size in CSS files for a page,I am prettty sure you can not access it.

yeah but how can you define a text size in CSS i have done that but the browsers just change the zoom, this causes conflicts with the <divs> can i stop a browser changing the font zoom?

[Khalid Ali]

browsers typically will display whatever CSS you have set for the layout and font,howeve, if a user disables CSS then your CSS will not work.

If user has not disabled CSS and browser does not apply your CSS that means you have wrong CSS set..

yeah but i have css on my site (obviously) and i have css enable, when viewing a page it looks fine, but change the text size in the view menu and my <divs> start to conflict

Khalid Ali right. You need to design your pages so that font-size changes do not affect the layout.
