Re: prevent visitors changing size of text.
You can't prevent that. It's an accessibility feature.

Re: prevent visitors changing size of text.
Thanks for your reply.I have looked at some other sites, tried to change the text ( VIEW - Text size Click) and nothing happened. However, what way can I design my site so that if visitors do change the size of the text, the layers will expand to accommodate the change in size?
Many thanks.

Re: prevent visitors changing size of text.
Your talking about not being able to use Internet Explorer 6's View>Text Size feature aren't ya
 . You can prevent that one by using CSS and by specifying font in Pixels. But, I believe all new browsers can still change the font size or at least zoom the font.

Re: prevent visitors changing size of text.
The real question is, why doesn't your site work when the text size is changed? You should always give the user the option to enlarge the text.
