Hello, Arun,

I feel your pain on this. It raises a large philosophical issue which I 
have outlined in another post and, thankfully, I don't have to solve it, 
but I know what my response would be in a customer/client-centric 
situation--the same as Adobe's.

However, this begs the issue in my mind of the universality of the Web 
and the ability of the end-user to customize the page to their liking. 
As I said in a previous post, as I age and especially working as a 
computer "geek" for someone who has had their vision impaired by a 
horse-riding accident, I hope that the web page templates are not 
forcing a specific text size for the content.

In FireFox, I can zoom in and out using <ctrl> + or <ctrl> - keys on the 
numeric keypad. In the View>Zoom submenu, I can select an option so that 
the zoom only applies to text. When that option is off (default), both 
the text and the images zoom together. There is also a plug-in that I 
have and use for FF that allows zooming of images alone (not 
surprisingly, it's called ImageZoom <smile>). In

Furthermore, pages rarely look the same in FireFox and Internet Explorer 
and if one forces a specific pixel size to attempt to make the page look 
the same and it locks out the zoom capability, then, I fear, those whose 
vision is not as good as yours will be frustrated with the experience.

Cheers,

Richard
