CSS - Text Field Size Customisation

I've been using a 3 column fluid layout and so far so good - works in all browsers and resolutions with some standard hacks...

Except with huge text sizes in Firefox.

I've used ems all the way and was wondering what the majority of people do when considering how much work to put in to ensure that people with really really poor eyesight can actually get the same experience as everyone else.

I tried expanding the text size on dozens of major websites and it appears there probably is some limit where it's not worth considering fixing overflowing divs on large text size.

So what does everyone else do?

Is this the right place to ask?

I have a website created with absolute positioning. So when someone increases the font of the text on the page (with the view menu for the browser), some of my text may run outside of the images that they are placed over. I had this problem with IE as well as firefox, but set all of the text with font-size in my CSS file. Now IE works perfectly, but in firefox, the size of the text can still be increased, thus, making the text expand outside of the images. How can I prevent this in firefox?

Second question... is there a way to set the size of the actual bullets themselves to a set size so they dont increase/decrease? I'm referring to the bullets, and not the text beside the bullets... I may go with images for the bullets, but was trying to prevent that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi all,

I would like to get the user to be able to change their background/and or text size at the click of a button. I was going to try and use multiple sheets, but am not sure of the most effective way of doing this.
For an example of what I mean, search for "Disability Rights Commision" on Google.

Hi,
This is only happens in IE, in firefox (the only 2 browsers I tested) works fine.

There's only one image inside the <div> tag, and I have set that div tag style to have a 10px height. But that doesn't work on IE... it's like there were some spaces wich because of the font-size it makes the height be more than 10px.... I wanted to fix that but how can I do it?

One solution is to make the div tag like this:
Code:

<div id="test"><img src="spect.gif" width="300" height="10" /></div>

instead of this:
Code:

<div id="test">
  <img src="spect.gif" width="300" height="10" />
</div>

But I don't want to fix it that way...

Any help would be hot, thanks.

how can you specify a new font size in a select list. I need to make the items appearing in that list smaller than they already are.

I have this problem making this menu and I have multible <h1></h1> on each title of the of stuff. It seems that the text gets bigger and bigger then when its to big then the text in the <h1> goes back smaller. Is there a way to fix this?
Here is my code.

Code:

h1 { font-family: cursive, sans serif;
 font-weight: normal; font-size: 200%; font-style: cursive;}

EDIT:The strange thing is that I know of this wird effect only happens in IE.

Thank you, sorry to be a bother but I do want to have a good first impression on my site that I am working for Ernies Bar & Grill at my town.

I am having few html pages with external CSS used. Now when i want to change the brower text using View->Text size, its not allowing.
Yes, i can change the font size in my CSS but I dont want all should see in the same font. Few people viewing those pages may not like that font.

So, Can any body help me to find out how to change the text size of an html page having CSS.

Hello: I am building a website for a broad audience. I need there to be an option for text to be resized for those who have trouble with reading screens. I am trying to have the text on HTML pages be changeable through CSS.

Two examples I offer are (URL address blocked: See forum rules) and (URL address blocked: See forum rules)

On the top right corner of the screen, there are options to change the text size without switching to a new HTML page. I believe this is done using CSS (perhaps Live StyleSheet Selector). I'm not really sure.

If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

hi all ! I want to know how I can change the text size and color for a button created inside my page (only for the button the rest should remain the same). The data and button are created in PHP so it looks something like:

Code:

<div class="column3">
<div class="padding">
<?php if( $this->countModules('right') ): ?>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="right" style="xhtml" />
<?php endif; ?>
</div>

And css for that part of the page is:

Code:

#index .box .column3 {width:252px;}

I'm trying to resize links on hover but doing so they change their vertical alignment during hover. Is there a way to prevent this ? Basically I just want the text to be bottom aligned and stay that way on hover. "text-align: top" works, but thats not what I want.

simple example:

CSS:
Code:

a:link, a:visited, a:active {
    font-size: 1em;
}
a:hover {
    font-size: 1.5em;
}

HTML:
Code:

<div>
    <a href="#">Text</a>
</div>

Hi,

Can anyone recommend how best to how to dynamically constrain amount of Text/Content in a DIV area that can vary in size??

That is, say you have:
(a) a content (DIV) area on your view that can expand/contract depending upon browser size ( i.e. when someone is re-sizing the browser window) and
(b) dynamic text/content that is to be displayed, based upon user input - e.g. image a defined area/size for several user comments for example. Users can create their own comments, but you only want them to be able to take up a given amount of screen resource, and then perhaps have a "...more" link at the bottom if they go over.

How can I best setup this up? e.g.
(1) How to setup the layout/CSS so that if more text / content is present in the DIV area that can be displayed that the DIV area doesn't expand due to the extra content the user put forward, and/or
(2) Do I need to also complete this by programming what content comes out? E.g. in Ruby on Rails say then the question would be how to calculate how much text/content can fit in the current size of the DIV (noting browser re-sizing) so that you get the chance to put the "...more" link at the bottom? Hopefully this approach isn't required.

Any other suggestions welcome that address what I'm trying to do are welcome, which is really offering a area for display of user feedback where each piece of feedback has a maximum area it can take on the main screen only, and also that browser re-sizing is possible.

Tks

Hi there,

How do I make the background of a text field change color upon hover/rollover?

Any help would be great!

Can anyone tell me how to make a form text field one solid color? No border or anything, just a rectangle box any color.

Thanks!

I have a disabled input field that is managed by PHP scripts. I need the fields to appear to the user but to look like just text. The main problem is that I have a patterned background on the page and I don't know how to create the style so that there is a transparent background on the input field. Can someone help? TIA.

Hey, all. Just wondering if anyone knows of a proper way to get rid of vertical space between text fields in a form. IE seems to like to have 2px in there, where other browsers will give me the desired 0px. For example: Code:

<input type='text' value='test' style='margin:0px; display:block;'>
<input type='text' value='bottom' style='margin:0px; display:block;'>

Gives me 2px of space between the 2 fields, but only in Internet Explorer.. Any thoughts?
