lol, true that, but I don't have a clue what does that, and I'm guessing that the poster doesn't either which is probably why he's asking. I'm guessing he's looking for someone to check his site to see what is causing the DPI issue to know if changing to HTML Editor will make a difference or if he just needs to adjust his VSD site to fix it. That part of the question I can't answer unfortunately

If you have two text boxes in VSD, one below the other, and then scale up the font size, the contents of those two boxes will overlap when the space between them is used up. I guess that is because of the absolute positioning.

If, however, you have two divs with text, one below the other, in the Editor and scale up the same way, the first div will push the second one further down the page and thereby make room for the larger text, provided no absolute positioning or floating is being applied, of course. In the Editor you can control the positioning yourself, so therefore you can avoid overlapping objects. Simple as that.

In VSD I honestly wouldn't know how to create a scalable webpage. Even the CC themes for VSD start overlapping as soon as I hit Ctrl + (I just tried one). And some of the templates have very tiny text. Maybe the best thing is to make the site with fairly large text initially, so that the need for scaling won't be all that important. Or make room for scaling up just once.

Since I'm a coder, I'm no expert on VSD, I'm just keeping up with the more basic stuff in order to be of at least some help here.

Thanks for all of your advice. Do such problems exist with HTML designed sites? Sounds like you can design a page with adjustable scaling to look good in a range of displays?
I'm not sure what percentage of people would have a problem viewing the site but if I receive a new notebook from HP with non 96 DPI as a preset perhaps this is a problem that the Visual program should try to address.

Like I said above, in the HTML Editor you are in complete control of what markup you make, so it it easy to avoid objects (text, pics, whatever) to get in the way of each other.

I think VSD is based on everything being positioned absolute, so I don't think it will be easy if they try changing that. I have no experience with other visual editors, so I don't know if the problem is the same all around.

Since I don't use VSD either I don't know if this will work so don't shoot me lol, but...

could it be that you can just use the text you're putting in within the <div>text content here</div> tags and insert it using the HTML Tool? I'm not sure how that all works, but if you were to do that, would it then be possible for the text boxes to expand when added to instead of overlapping?

Just looking for work arounds for what you already have worked on instead of seeing you have to start all over from scratch (which you would have to do if you moved over to the HTML Editor as the code would not be advisable to use from VSD). Not to mention if you don't already know the HTML and CSS needed that there's the learning curve involved in getting a site up.

Having said that, there are a lot of great Themes included and for purchase on CC's site as well as all over the net that you can use as a base so I guess in the end it's up to you and how much work you want to do....

All of course if my idea doesn't work in VSD

If the various divs are placed in one html box each, they will be positioned absolute again, and you are back to square one when scaling up the text.

If you use the html tool and create one box for several divs it will expand downwards, not to the side. But if you have some other objects below the div, you're equally back to square 1.

Besides, if you start inserting most of the text using the html tool, what with sizes, colours, font-faces etc, you may just as well go about it the better way and use the html Editor.

hehe very good points there Inger, all them div things still confuse me quite a bit so I never know what effect one thing has on another till I try it lol.
