Hi, everyone
I need to make my website not to be zoomed by browsers; in other words, if I use ie7 (firefox, opera ...so on..), and I try to zoom my website to see bigger letters or graphics, on my website... is there a way to disable this via javascript?
I do not want to disable this on the browsers themselves, but on my website instead.
please help me on this
thanks

Are you also going to put in some javascript which knocks the glasses of people?

You're the 5th person to ask for this in a month! Good luck.

Why would you want to? You are basically telling your users that you don't care about them. You are also de-optimizing your site, which is really the opposite of what you *should* be doing.

There is no way to stop a browser from zooming on your website.

Shouldn't really matter anyway, most browsers zoom technology is much better before, they don't just zoom the text, they zoom the entire page.

I think you should also disable right click. Because I just love websites that disable right-click. It makes me feel warm inside

Actually, I'm going to try and be useful - Question is, why do you want to disable zoom? It's there for a reason, mainly because some people need to zoom, like the sight impaired, and whatnot. Essentially what you're doing there is trying to make your website less user friendly.

That's not useful, that's just blindingly obvious.

Well, that's what you'd expect. People can surprise you

hey, that's a simple question. it does not deserve sarcasm. if you don't know the answer then just admit it.

Fuck off you spammer, it's a ridiculous request that flies in the face of accessibility and deserves contempt.

the4thversion · 26-06-2009, 19:19

you didn't say why you wanted to stop the zoom but I'm guessing it's because your page falls apart when it is zoomed.

you may want to google this 'craig grannell scalable layouts', you want the netmag link (I can't post external links yet

)

Stupid questions deserve stupid responses.
