Alright for my website www.reliacare.org I already made a post in another section but they told me to us css. But i don't have time to learn that for this small website so i would just like someone to tell me

when i zoom in with internet explorer my website gets all screwed up since it was made with tables. How can i make it so the text stays the same size when people zoom in or the dpi setting is higher. I'm using frontpage please help thanks

Using styles, you can set the font size to a specific pixel size, which won't be affected by changing the font size in your browser.

Put this in your <head></head>

<style type="text/css">
body {
font-size: 14px;
}
</style>
You can change the 14 to whatever size you like best. This will cause all your font in your page to be that size no matter what. You will have to put this in each page you have. Of course, this definitely isn't a good web design practice at all, but it's what you wanted and will do the job.

The code isn't working because it's conflicting with the font tags in your code that specify font size.

Changing your table layout to a CSS layout will take a little bit of work to learn. How long depends on you.

petro. you're working on a home health care website. I assuming that org proly helps a lot of folks who are a bit up in years and maybe their eye sight isn't so great. trying to make it so that they can't resize the text is a really really bad idea. let the 'design' break - as long as they can get the information.


2 cents,

alright and i dont understand what you do with a template you already have made. Do you guys use a program like frontpage or dreamweaver or do you use straight up code for this whole process

I use Dreamweaver because everything is color coded but Notepad can do the trick as well. And you may want to put your page through a validator because I see alot of errors.

code is the only way to really do this stuff but i hear DW8 is pretty good for wysiwyg to css.

I use a program called webuilder.
