hi,
i am in the process of creating a w3 standards website.
what i would like to do is have a page expand when the 'view text size' option
in the browser is changed.
the following url will show you what i mean: http://www.newezra.com/xhtml/home/
the text in this site resizes with the background graphic. up to now i can
only get the text to resize with a scroll bar, but i want my background text
container to expand with the text instead of having the scroll bar.
i hope this is clear enough...and i hope someone can let me know how this is
achieved.
thanks
bean.
