Blown up pages

[matelin]

Ok here I go. I did my layout is psd. went to imageready(rollovers suce sliceing ect..) now i have my pages in my editing html programs. Looks real well except when the viewer increases their font on their browsers the page blows up, or breaks up. How do I correct this. I have a style sheet that I am using hoping it prevented this but did not. why is it all breaking up? normal viewing fon and even small viewing font is great But if a a user sets their font to very very large it breaks up page. I normally would not find this a huge problem BUT the person that hired me does, and I need help fast! thanks.

You can't really control that. You can only estimate what majority people are setting their font sizes to. Try to design around that to accomodate for larger font settings.

I test my pages on a mac/pc and on different browsers. I set the fonts to different sizes to make sure it does break apart.

You have a link to the site?

If the font size is set to a pixel size then it won't resize when the user chooses a different text size in IE. You made need to use CSS to do this.


p { font-size:14px; }

P.S. Check out SiteGrinder, instead of ImageReady. It'll convert your Photoshop text directly to HTML/CSS and you won't have any of these hassles (though, with the house of cards that is the web, maybe you'll have different hassles.) Anyway, it's worth checking out. http://www.medialab.com/sitegrinder
