I have been following the latest Swimmer35 thread in which Paul brings up the issue of text enlargement breaking up pages. I am aware that the box model can resolve this but as Paul says, it is not intuitive.
I worry a little about two sites I have built as a FW rookie just using the regular blank template and laying out as I would in Indesign. Which suits my haphazard manner of working. Whilst so far I have have received no complaints, and they have both been running for over a year, I am beginning wonder what others may see. Do browser users in general have ‘zoom text only’ ticked. And if they do use it are they shocked or just say “blimey I should not have done that”
In general I have found that most of the computer users I come across are not even aware that they can zoom in either of the options. So - Should I worry?
Thank you… those were my questions about it… when it was brought
up. .TY for asking
Let me ask you richard, how do you like the site?

Presumably then not a question which is of much concern, or did I pick the wrong day to ask?
Re your site Julie the comments you are eliciting on the original thread I am in agreement with and should be enough to keep you going for a while. You have a talent for getting the forum guys tapping at their keyboards.
The first site is mainly photographic and the pages that do have text
increase in size nicely (they’re table based, a bulletproof way of
making that so). The second site is perfectly fine, and, while text
does overlap, if it hasn’t caused a problem in a year then I wouldn’t
worry about redoing it.
Hope this helps,
Joe
