Is it possible to better control changes by Internet Explorer->View->Text Size

Hi have just been made aware of a problem on a couple of websites I am now responsible for. The websites are www.cambridgefootlights.com and www.comfortcafe.co.uk

The problem is that when people use internet explorer's View->Text Size option to alter the text size the layout of the website breaks because the text increases in size by too large an amount.

I know I could convert the text sizes to pixels as a quick fix to this bug, but I was wondering if it is possible to control how much the text increases/decreases in size when this option is used?

I believe it can be done because the amount the text changes by on different sites is different, I'm just not sure how to control it.

This is an IE bug. The fix is easy.

Specify your font sizes in % not em. For font sizes, 1em = 100%.

Strictly speaking, you only need to specify your base font size in percent. But I just use % for all font sizes.

Thanks for that, however the problem still appears to occur although not as bad as it was.

I have been able to modify the stylesheets for www.comfortcafe.co.uk to use min-heights for the div's therefore solving the problem completely.
However I when I try to do this for www.cambridgefootlights.com the layout breaks with the div's pushing one another out of position.

Looks okay to me. *shrug*

You should try to design pages that will adapt to different text sizes. You can specify dimensions in em units.
