simple html question - fixed font size?

[mblue]

I want to use text links on a sidebar menu and would like to have the font size fixed so that even if a user increases the font size in their browser the menu will still look right. I could use graphics to solve this problem, but I want to stay with text.

I've tried css with font size specified as small and as 14pt, but these still get larger if browser font size is increased.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried using 14px instead of 14pt?

body
{
font: 18px Arial;
}

works fine for me.

Thanks, using px instead of pt helps, at least with Navigator. The text still changes size in Explorer (on a mac anyway). This will have to do. Thanks for your help

this is from my stylesheet
a{
font: 12px Arial;
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
color: #000;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:active {
color: #000;
text-decoration: overline;
}
A:visited {
color: #000;
text-decoration: underline
}

a{ is what is shown for a the default/nonvisited link
a:hover{ is what is shown when the mouse is over a link
a:active is what is shown when a link is clicked, and the action is being performed.
a:visited is what is shown for a previously clicked link
