Navigator text size ?

[eL_NiNo]

Is there a way to know which size is the font of the browser a user is currently using ? (Normal, small, very small, big, huge)
I need this coz I made a report in an html document but if the user font is too big, it appears all messed up

Also, is there a way to send a mail byt SMTP via ASP ? Any suggestions ?

Of the top of my head, I don't know of any way.
However, if you just make your report using tables, or even the <PRE> (PREformatted, preserves spacing and such) tag might work, user font size shouldn't be a problem.
That's the idea behind things like tables, they create a universal formatting that everyone should be able to see

Your second question...no idea I don't use ASP or technologies like that

ok, thanks

I'm using tables but it looks awful if fonts are too big (int the table, making cells 3 times as high as they should)
Anyway, I guess i'm stuck with that...

And what is this <PRE> you're talking about ? Never used it, so how does it works ?

Thanks again for the reply csammis !

Oh and ignore my 2nd question, i solved it by making an activexdll to send the mail !

Why don't you use a style sheet (or at least a style tag) to describe the font size and attributes for the TD tags?

[csammis]

The font tags won't change it if the browser has font size preferences set. On the other hand, a table would change size automagically whatever the font size is and maintain alignment.

Ok; problem solved !
I used style sheet, as suggested, and it works perfect.

Thanks for everything !

Email out of asp.

Look at the CDO NT from microsoft that runs on the NT platform.

For information on this look at

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...asp?frame=true

or

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...do_roadmap.htm


Or search for CDO NT at microsoft.com


Usage Example

Dim objMail  
     
    Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail") 
 
    ' send to address 
    objMail.To = Trim(strTo)      
     
    ' send from address 
    objMail.From = Trim(strFrom) 
     
    ' subject line 
    objMail.Subject = Trim(strSubject) 
     
    ' body 
    objMail.Body = Trim(strMessage) 
 
    ' send the email 
    objMail.Send  
     
    ' destroy to object 
    Set objMail = Nothing

Here is the original question posed. If you scroll to the top you will notice the 2nd paragraph.
