Every topic is about how to allow users to change font size, can't really find any on disabling it. I browsed around the Mozilla site as well looking for information about the Text Increase/Decrease and disabling it and had no luck. Hopefully somebody else will have better luck then me. Sorry. </p> http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/css-to-disable-browser-increasing-font-size#post-51 Fri, 18 May 2007 08:12:31 +0000 defunct 51@http://designsadvice.com/forums/ <p>I'm not deliberately trying to piss off Grandpa but I'm really anal about my design and when Firefox increases my font size they spill over the region I've set for the type. It's only going to be certain types I want to disable. </p> http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/css-to-disable-browser-increasing-font-size#post-49 Fri, 18 May 2007 00:59:13 +0000 twofivethreetwo 49@http://designsadvice.com/forums/ <p>First; why would you want to? If some people who have trouble reading smaller text can't read your site, they won't come back. I understand that increasing the text size might mess up the flow of your site. I have found over the years that most users don't mess with the text size in the browser or system (most don't know how either). So, set yours to the default and design around it.</p> <p>Second; I'm not sure you can. Evening setting an absolute font size will still allow browsers to change it, as users get the final say. I searched around a little and found a few people asking the samething on other forums and everything kept saying no way. </p> http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/css-to-disable-browser-increasing-font-size#post-47 Thu, 17 May 2007 23:53:59 +0000 defunct 47@http://designsadvice.com/forums/ <p>Hi, I want to know how I can use CSS rules to disable web browsers i.e Firefox from allowing people to increase font size on my website? </p>
