Hi again,

I wondering if you'd take a quick look at this site:

Trim GAA Club

It's not a live site but a concept that has been approved and chopped up to get it to a working "template" page. Please ignore image sizes or any browser incompatibilities (I haven't optimised the images yet and have only tested on IE6/FF2). The issue I'm concerned with is if you increase the text size within the browser, the design of the site gets messed up. Should I be concerned about this? If so, how do I get around it?

Thanks, Dave

Preface: Love the design, real quality.

Well, I don't think it's an accessibility issue because the font sizes are not fixed as to stop users from increasing the text size. The most notable thing of course at text size "Larger" is the gap between the main content image and the bottom of the white area. I'm not really sure the best way to stop that happening, possibly "overflow:scrollbars" (sic?) so that it won't stretch the box, but will add scrollbars.

Only at the "Largest" size does the menu knock out of line but I'm not really sure what you can do other than making more space for it to expand into.

I really like this. Great work. The text size is not an issue in Opera - it makes the whole page bigger (images and all) - that's one less to worry about.

You can't really "get arround" it. Accessibility wise - keep an eye on your site without any CSS - if it looks readable and navigable - then it's ok. That's just a very rough guideline but it works (mostly).

I also have no idea on how to improve this..other than fixing the font size (which, of course won't work in FF)

The site design is brilliant, I really like it. Let me know when it goes live, I will ad it to the Irish GAA page
