Detect Browser Text Size Change

vbGansta

Hi there,

What is the best way to detect when a user changes the text size of their
browser. I need to Resize/Move things when they do this so grids and such
don't overlap each other. Thanks for your help.

That's a clientside event... dont think you can. Unless the resize causes a
refresh you wont get this with ASP.NET

Thanks for the reply Curt. So how do you handle text size changes. Do you
just allow enough space so they never run together or what?

bruce barker

normally you use tables, which will reflow the text.

My suggestion would be to NOT use absolute positioning in your web page/site
creation.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
