I have a client who wants me to make a web page with a marquee on it. No
problem.
They want the text to be easily changeable. No problem.
They want it so that the text will appear about the same size regardless of
the screen resolution. Now that's my problem.
In a sense, they want it so that if the screen is 800x600 and the text would
be 1" tall, and then they make the screen 1600*1200, they still want the
text to be 1" tall.
Any suggestions?
TIA - J.

Further information on this: I need to be able to do this through straight
HTML not through ASP.Net (I create an HTML page that then get's downloaded
to a remote machine that displays the HTML file.)
I've already figured out what I want to do for this section is put in a
<font size= ></font> and make the size dependent on screen size.
I just don't know javascript well enough to be able to figure out how to
call a javascript routine to have it return the appropriate size value.
TIA - J.

Take a look at the font-size attribute on the MSDN. It has samples on how to
change the font-size in javascript : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...s/fontsize.asp

Phillip,
Thanks for the help but this does stuff the change on an event. I need to
set the font initially depending on the size of the screen. It will never
need to change again. I've written some pseudo code here (remember I don't
know what I'm doing here so I'm just sort of guessing....):
<SCRIPT language="javas cript">
function SetFontSize()
{
x = screen.width;
y = screen.height;
fontsize = 14;
if (x < 1024) {
fontsize=14;
}
else
{
fontsize=20;
}
var FontSizeDiv;
FontSizeDiv = getElementByID( "FontSizeDi v");
FontSizeDiv.Sty le.Font.Size = fontsize;
}
</SCRIPT>
<body onload="SetFont Size()">
<div id="FontSize">< font size="12">This is the stuff that will need to
be resized.</font>
</body>

I think maybe you'll want to apply a style to the div - e.g. <div
style="font-size: 1in">This is the stuff that will need to be
resized</div>
No javascript, no asp. Pure HTML (and CSS)

Hello All,
I would like for a tkinter text widget to be aware of how big the frame that
contains it is, then I would like for it to reset its width to the
appropriate number of characters when this frame changes size.
I can get a cget("width") for the text, but this does not dynamically reflect
the visible width.
One way I can think of is getting the size of the font used in the widget then

I have a label inside of a form. The form is maximized to fill the
entire screen. I would like the label to take up 40% of the width of the
screen, and 70% of the height, regardless of monitor size or resolution.
How can I do this?
Also, if I use a certain font & font size, how can I avoid getting any
half-lines of text, where you just see the cut-off tops or bottoms of
the letters?
Thanks for any help!

this is a resolution-detect script that I used on a site. As you can see it

Hi, guys.
I'm developing a web application for Sales Department people in my company. I used my 1024X768 resolution and "Medium" IE text size to test my Layout and it worked fine. However, some people in Sales Department use different settings like "800X600", "Larger" IE text size or even "Large font" in Appearance tab in Display Property. Those different settings would mess up my layout. What I want to do is to set font size of labels,...
