Firefox - Prevent TextField size change when user changes font size?

I'm currently using css to design my website but I've noticed that when
I change the font size in firefox (holding ctrl and using the mouse
wheel) that the size of my textfield boxes grows bigger and outside of
its intended boundries. Is there any way to prevent this (maybe to
explcitly set the size of the textfield?)

You can't do that in competent browsers (i.e. Firefox, Opera, Safari
Konqueror -- pretty much everything besides IE), nor should you be able
to. Fix your real problem instead by sizing the container in em units so
that it will scale.

That's not a bug, it's a feature. Avoid hardcoded pixel sizes in your
pages, and then everything will be able to scale naturally along with
the user's preferences.

I am trying to create a header and a menu using CSS, my idea is sort of working on FF but IE it looks gross. I cannot tell why, could anyone help me. Also why is there a space between all the <div> shown when the page is render (if that is the correct term) by a browser? How can I fix that? Here is the URL http://www.wyght.com/warren/tmbanner.html

On my sub3 menus i have more than one line of text in some places. firefox does not recognise that there is more than one line and the text simply overlaps the sub-menus below it.

Hope someone has some ideas - this is driving me nuts, I am using VS2008 and have a tightly layed out form at 8 pts. The form has a font dialog and when the user changes the font size, everything works great. I go through the forms control collection (recurively) and everything resizes as it should. Ok, so the next step is to remember the font size selected by the user and select it when the form is loaded. Woops - does not work! So, I...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
