Hmm... Please excuse my technical knowledge [ Which you will see from my question :evil: ] .

My question is that I created a table on the bottom of my page my page. What I want to do is that I want the font size absolutely fixed... i.e. if someone chooses View > Text Size > Largest ... then the font size must remain the same as I defined [ Verdana , <b> and 10pt ] rather than getting larger than this.

BTW I used CSS Class something like this

.navhead { font: 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}

I would appreciate any help in this matter.

Have you tried .navhead { font-size: 10pt; } ?

Uhmm... No Luck.

Here's the exact code that I am using -

CSS - .premium-partners { font-size: 10pt ; font: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}


HTML - <div class="premium-partners">
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%" id="AutoNumber1" bordercolorlight="#3E5C92" bordercolordark="#3E5C92">
<tr>
<td width="100%">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><b><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#990000">Our
Premium Partners </font>|<font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#3E5C92"> <script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>
<!--
if (!document.phpAds_used) document.phpAds_used = ',';
phpAds_random = new String (Math.random()); phpAds_random = phpAds_random.substring(2,11);

document.write ("<" + "script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='");
document.write ("http://www.pulsetoday.com/adserver/adjs.php?n=" + phpAds_random);
document.write ("&amp;what=zone:3");
document.write ("&amp;exclude=" + document.phpAds_used);
if (document.referer)
document.write ("&amp;referer=" + escape(document.referer));
document.write ("'><" + "/script>");
//-->
</script><noscript><a href='http://www.pulsetoday.com/adserver/adclick.php?n=a0e155e4' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.pulsetoday.com/adserver/adview.php?what=zone:3&amp;n=a0e155e4' border='0' alt=''></a></noscript>
</font></b></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table> </div>


Am I missing something ?

you should also use px rather than pt for screen font sizes, as pt is for print media.

Keep in mind that pt and px are not directly equivalent - i.e. 8 pt is not the same as 8 px. So don't go and change it and then thing it's wrong because the font changed size.
