Hi

Does anyone know if you can turn off or force IE's View-Text Size function to size Medium?

Thanks
Will

That's a silly request. If you're serious, then just do the site in flash.

The web is not print. And disabling features of someone's browser is a terrible idea.

Your website should be able to withstand some measly text-size changes. Otherwise you plainly don't know what you're doing.

If you don't care about your users, go with Flash like Mike said.

You guys need to get off your high horses... Just set the font size in pixels dude.

What if they use any other browser than IE? - pixels can still be resized. I don't get it, what's the big deal about letting people re-size thier text?

[pgo]

Not only that, but what happens when they use IE and NEED to resize the text to read it?

Sigh.

That's nice. "Just break usability/accessibility features. Users don't matter."

That, and, IE7 (and every other modern browser) will resize pixel-sized text, so...that "technique" will only work for a little while longer. Better get used to resizable text.
