Keeping Font size?

[Stuart H]

How do I constrain the font size of my text?

I want it to stay the size it is even if the browser settings are set to large or larger.

Can this be achieved in CSS?

The reason for text zooming is just that a user should be able to resize the text to a size that they feel comfortable with. Iew sadly don't scale sizes declared in px, but all other browsers do.

Define "achieve". As liorean said, keeping a constraint on the text sizes is a very bad idea. Think accessibility — what if the visually impared want to view your site, but the text is too small? Well, those that are using Mozilla would just hit the ol' Ctrl + + (that would be, Ctrl and at the same time, +), and their problems are (theoretically) solved. So, you can use the ideal screen medium font measurement, px:font-size: 12px;One problem. Guess what. IE? Yep. Doesn't scale px measurements, one of the most annoying things about web design. What's normally done is something like this:body, html { font-size: 16px }
div#content { font-size: smaller }Using 'relative font sizes' (smaller | larger), or 'absolute font size keywords (xx-small | x-small | small | medium | large | x-large | xx-large), which IE can scale.
