hi,How does one maintain fonts sizes on a webpage. I don't want the users to change the font size through the browser, as this can make the webpage really look awful.
I am using CSS fonts.
I know its possible, because i have visited a few sites and i have tried to change the font size and nothing happened.
can anyone help me?
Thanx

You can do this by specifying an absolute sized font
Using an absolute length unit such as <b>pt</b> instead of a relative one such as <b>px</b> makes it impossible for many users to resize the text on your site, which may make your site inaccessible to them.
After all if someone has difficulty reading your text, then they aren't going to be bothered what the site looks like.
