How is the text made to not change in size on these pages?

I am familiar with how to designate a font size that a page should first appear in a person's browser, but I had understood that the font size can always be changed in the browser by the viewer and the only way to prevent this was by making it a graphic, Flash file, etc.
Yet on the site below (re. URL) it appears that it has been done in another way so as to make it unchangeable.
How is this possible?
Examples:

Thanks for any info on this.
Regards,

I see no scaling in IE8...
How are you scaling? I can scale with no problem in IE8, FF3.5 and Opera. I simply CTRL + mousewheel to scale.
I can scale the whole page but not the text alone, but IE8 also has a special item, the dropdown View>Text Size.

That is the way it is supposed to work in modern browsers. They zoom the entire page so that layout, images and text all scale together. There is no reason why anyone should want to scale the text while maintaining a single layout scale. Such a transformation to the page would make layouts go wonky as text would outgrow the areas it was designed to fit. It is only WebKit-browsers (Safari and Google Chrome) that oddly scale layout but not text.
If you look at this page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101114/episodes in IE8, you are able to change the size of the text alone, relative to the other elements on the page, and you are also able to change the whole page by using zoom, keeping the relative size of text and other elements (either the original relative size or another one).
There used to be many sites where you could change the text alone, and people have been advised in this forum not to fight against that option.
I am pleased to see that the general opinion seems to have changed.

    When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

    Hi Janedance1,
    If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

    You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it

        Hello Saralynn43. Getting new updates is always fun, but then there are certain changes that can take some getting used to! This may be one of these cases where there may have been a change done to the notification system. What are the notifications that have been affected with the color change? Let us know as we'd like to look into this for you. Thank you.

    Hmm..you will get lots of links if you search the forum/google..
    Anyway - keep a breakpoint in SAVE_TEXT/READ_TEXT function module and create/display MIRO and FB60 documents - this tell you how it stores and reads long text.
    You should use READ_TEXT in your program with same header inputs with respective TDOBJECT and TDNAME parameters.

  • The text "Remove" is not appearing in the remove button of Bookmarks.

    Hi,
    The text "Remove" is not appearing in the remove button of Bookmarks. My problem is the same as mentioned in this question.

    You already tested in Firefox's Safe Mode and that did not make any difference?
    Can you associate this problem with any software changes, such as upgrading from Firefox 31 to Firefox 32, or updating an add-on, or Windows, etc.?
    Have you noticed problems with any other dialogs or menus?
    Occasionally a corrupted settings file may cause issues with dialogs. This file also stores toolbar customizations. You can rename the file and customize from scratch.
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
    Start Firefox back up again. Any improvement in the Edit Bookmarks dialog?

    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, boot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    I'd do it on all of them.
    Then we can go on from there if you still have a problem, but with several queastions eliminated!

  • I have a manual that contains headings and index entries that contain less than and greater than characters, and . The Publish to Responsive HTML5 function escapes these correctly in the main body of the text but does not work correctly in either the C

    I have a manual that contains headings and index entries that contain less than and greater than characters, < and >. The Publish to Responsive HTML5 function escapes these correctly in the main body of the text but does not work correctly in either the Contents or the Index of the generated HTML. In the Contents the words are completely missing and in the index entries the '\' characters that are required in the markers remain in the entry but the leading less than symbol and the first character of the word is deleted; hence what should appear as <dataseries> appears as \ataseries\>. I believe this is a FMv12 bug. Has anyone else experienced this? Is the FM team aware and working on a fix. Any suggestions for a workaround?

    The Index issue is more complicated since in order to get the < and > into the index requires the entry itself to be escaped. So, in order to index '<x2settings>' you have to key '\<x2settings\>'. Looking at the generated index entry in the .js file we see '<key name=\"\\2settings\\&gt;\">. This is a bit of a mess and produces an index entry of '\2settings\>'. This ought to be '<key name=\"&amp;lt;x2settings&amp;gt;\" >'. I have tested this fix and it works - but the worst of it is that the first character of the index entry has been stripped out. Consequently I cannot fix this with a few global changes - and I have a lot of index entries of this type. I'm looking forward to a response to this since I cannot publish this document in its current state.

    Thank you for the help. Below is my Source footage and sequence settings.
    The other footage I have on the timeline is an mp3 file made in Garage Band and some footage I sent to Motion to edit. I do have some offline media on there since I switched computers but FCP had been working fine for a few months with it on there. I have not tried trashing my FCP Preferences. If I did would I have to back up my project?

  • Editing the Text May Cause Layout Changes Message

    I have tons of files created in old illustrator 6.0 and now that I have CS2 loaded on Mac OS X.5.8 I'd like to open and edit some of these documents.
    It says, "This file contains text that was created in a previous version of Illustrator. This legacy text must be updated before you can edit it." It asks you to either Choose Update or OK to update later.
    So I chose Update for one of the files, save without compression. Then I open it and it looks OK. I thought that this UPDATING would allow me to work with the document freely. However, when I attempt to change some type I get a warning saying that "Editing the text may cause layout changes.• Choose Copy Text Object to update the text and preserve the original layout as a separate object. • Choose Update to update the text without creating a separate reference object." Why am I getting this warning? Do I really have to click on every bit of type I wish to edit and deal with this message each time? If I choose "update" the type disappears entirely and if I choose "copy text object" it grays out and I can't select it. Either way I have no way of editing my document.
    Please advise and keep answers as simple as possible.
    Thanks.

    Hi Mylenium,
    Wow. What a nightmare. We're not talking just retyping, it's really re-typesetting etc.
    Tell me, if I were to copy and paste the old document into a new one or something like that, would that bypass this problem?
    Also, someone in another thread which I started (link to it below) mentioned that I could "batch update the files as CMYK and with the legacy type updated as well." I know that it's separate issue, but I was wondering if I were to do this, might it help with this Text Editing issue?

    iCal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed.

    Calendar (not called iCal anymore) does not include that capability any longer, apparently.  What you have to do now is go to Automator and create a Calendar Alert action.  You can add a Run AppleScript object to the action and paste in your script there, then when you save it, it will become available as a choice in the alert menu in Calendar.

  • Once I accept a calendar invite on my iPhone, I cannot delete or otherwise modify it.  Even when it is updated or deleted by the invitor, it does not change on my iPhone.  Is there a fix for this?

    Once I accept a calendar invite on my iPhone, I cannot delete or otherwise modify it.  Even when it is updated or deleted by the invitor, it does not change on my iPhone.

    My husband and I both have iphone 4's and we both have this same problem.  I have an open ticket with apple, but so far they haven't been able to figure this out.  First, they told me the problem was the mail server I was using.  So, I tried sending/receiving invites from gmail and yahoo which they told me should work.  Neither did.  It doesn't matter whether the original invite was created in iCal or in Outlook or Google, once I open the invite in my mail and hit "add to calendar" the event is locked into my calendar.  If the originator sends an update or cancels the meeting, I will receive an email with the new info, but the event doesn't change in my iphone calendar.  This is completely lame.  Why bother putting a calendar app on the phone if it can't handle basic functions?
    Did you ever get a response from anyone or figure out a workaround?  I'll post if I hear back from Apple with a fix.
