I do my own web design. Please don't notice the flaws! LOL

Anyway, I have a question:

If I go to this website: http://www.motherwear.com and change my browser settings to the largest text size, the website doesnt' change really.

If I do it to mine, everything looks big and ugly and re-arranged.

What can I do to keep this from happening? I want my site to look virtually the same no matter what the browser settings. I like it small and close together.

Thanks!

The fact that the text size doesn't change is actually a flaw in Internet Explorer. If you open that site in Netscape the font size does change.

oh, and anyway, i forgot to answer your question.

She's controlling her font sizes and other design elements with CSS. (cascading style sheets.) Controlling your font sizes with pixel, for example, rather than points, give a more accurate display across browsers.

I started learning CSS here :http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

It will change your web design world
