http://www.geocities.com/learnmaths123/b.htm first question shouldnt of been posted here and should of been posted in a diffrent forum cat, my answer is to the resolution thing is don't change the sites compatability unless 85% of users don't use 800*600, also commenting on your site, number one im sure its not valid because its on geocities, :p lolz use netfirms.com there better even giv u frontpage extensions and ftp:p nd none of that crappy bandwidth stuff. also it uses tables for complete layout that site could be soo much smaller and load allot faster, i don't no wat ur page is about but its links don't work. also to much info for one page, and you have "Only fixed number of problems can be asked each day" how much? people want to know these things, im sure you won't get buisness out of a free site, because people don't like it, your wasting your time get a real host, and make a proper working site, not this one which looks like a non working cms.

Hi -
Even though I'm not too fond of pastels, the site was laid out very well. Enough variety to be interesting, yet not TOO 'busy' looking. However, I would *strongly* recommend that you check for spelling errors very thoroughly...and correct.

If it's that important to you, work in a little javascript or something where users could switch to text:larger or text:smaller - if they don't know how to change their browser settings in the first place!

Good luck,
El

Thanks for Reply LJK
Although for the first time i am trying out my hand on website making,but anyhow i will try my best to include your suggestion for allowing the users access to change the size of the text.
Can i use CSS for that or javascript.

Your suggestion will be implemented very soon

Thanks once again for taking out time for writing

Regards

Well you can use what's called a stlye switcher. I know of 2 differeent types of style switchers. A server side PHP script. Here ( http://alistapart.com/articles/phpswitch/ ) is a tutorial on setting one up. You would need PHP installed on your server. I am not sure about Geocities.

Alternatively you could use JavaScipt for this method. It is a client side script and basically it will not work if the user has JavaScipt disabled. 5% of hte World Wide Web don't have JavaScipt enabled. It's up to you whether you want them to be able to use the switcher or not. Here ( http://alistapart.com/articles/alternate/ ) is the JavaScipt switcher...

Now comes the defining bit. You need to make sure your font sizes are defined differentley in each copy of one style sheet. the uiserthen can switch the style sheet depending on the size of font he/she wants.

Go to google and search for Style Swithcers and look for working examples/..

best wishes,
David
