Topic: Set fontsize to "small" (Page 1 of 1)

hello

I made a new site about the office I am working for.
So in my ie the fontsize is set to "small" but the
default value is I think "medium".

So if the user got medium the site looks like shit because
all the tables are distorted...
Is there a way to set the fontsize automatic to "small" or
is the only solution to write it to the page itself??

thx for your advice

Putting this in a style sheet would get rid of your problems. Just set the font size in Pixels and everything is cool. When the browser font size is changed the specified font doesn't.

.myText{ font: normal 12pt Verdana; }

Later,

Don't use pt for pages intended to be viewed on the screen. Use px, if you must keep the user from changing their font size. Then again, you probably shouldn't be keeping the user from changing their font size.
