Okay here's the scoop.

Originally I created a kind of adjustable layout design for my new site that maintains the size and layout perfectly to the size of the browser window. I never really even considered video stuff and how that would be handled. However it works. The videos adjust with the rest of the page. I am not sure if this feature is good or bad. I kind of like it but I could use some feedback.

Adjust either the browser window size or the text size to see the page "in action". The layout of the page always adjusts to the size of the browser window or the scale adjustment of the text size (smaller, larger etc).

Well that's kind of cool (love the animation in the header), but it counteracts Firefox's zoom (ctrl+mouse wheel). That may not be a big problem except for accessibility. People who need to wouldn't be able to zoom.


Perhaps if you could put a limiting factor on it. Like if it could automatically adjust, but only within a certain range?

Hah!

Dagnabbit! They added the same feature I coded in the page... <sigh>. It does the exact same thing. Hmm... does IE have that ability? Any other browsers?

If you turn on "Zoom text only" in FF the page works the same as the default zoom. I could just use a browser check to see if anyone is using FF 3 and then "deactivate" that feature. I like it though for other browsers that can't "zoom" that way. If they all get that feature I won't even need it. I will just code it in em units and and a fixed size. Same results. If it's scaled it still works.

I didn't know it while I was using it, but IE7 has the same zoom feature. The only difference is you can't select 'text only'(so no work around there). You may want to ask around about other browsers. I'd assume Netscape does this too.

If this page resizing is the same as the FF zoom, FF has the option to set min/max zoom values. Perhaps doing something similar in your page would work.
