anyone worked on a size with scalable text (scalable to browser window size)? only idea i had was to do everything as images and use the jquery window resize but wouldn't work on an image background and don't see how well png's would react to this... can't see how it would work otherwise... anyone done this before?
cheers

yeah look into sizing type using % instead of pixels, the scale should cascade down from the em size of the body tags style

you could put text within a container element offscreen, like a span, then measure the width of that element, resize text accordingly and then show onscreen

ukit - i thought of SVG's but as far as i know they aren't supported by any IE aside form IE9? am i wrong?
pizza - not sure how putting in percentage would change with browser window size though?

Wrap your text in a movie clip. Resize movie clip according to your needs.
Example of scalable text according to browser resizing:

Actually you can use SVG with IE, just need a library like this that is compatible:
Although, it really just comes down to using scripting. Whether Javascript for regular text, or SVG, or Actionscript in Flash. Nothing wrong with using JS.
