text size not responding

[Marcus]

Changing text size (View/text size) in IE 6 browser pages doesn't not change
the text sixe in thye main body of the page ...or anywhere else.

Any ideas welcome,

Marcus

Hello Marcus,

Changing the text size by the command view/text size does not work on web
pages that specify an absolute font size for their text. To overcome this
limitation you can either entirely ignore font size specifications on
websites by enabling Tools/Internet Options/Accessiblity/"Ignore font sizes
specified on web page" or by installing a web browser extension like Quero
Toolbar (http://www.quero.at/) that comes with a better zoom page function.

Regards,

Viktor

You should note that this is an IE problem. Other modern browsers do
not have such a limitation.

This is not an IE Problem. Its a feature. The user is King. When will we
learn that server side styling is AWOT ( a waste of time)!

Please stop top-posting!

You think it is a good feature that the IE user cannot use View Text
Size to adjust the font size when the designer has specified fixed size
fonts? How does this make the user king?
