Overruling browser-settings for textsize

[ezras]

Hai everybody,

when I displayed my site at someone elses computer, the textsize was al lot smaller than at my own computer at home. I have set my textsize in my browser to extra large and on the computer where I displayed my site it was set smaller. Is it possible that my site 'overrules' text settings that are made by someone in his browser? Or has the difference in textsize another cause?

Greetz,
Ezra

Ezra,

If you want to control text size on all different machines then you need to get into Cascading Style Sheets. Setting the sizes in pixels this way goes a long way to solving the problem, not all but most. CSS is too much to explain here so find some tutorials, Webmonkey had some good stuff a while ago.....
