Question

I’m trying to create a book type interface that has ‘pages’, and the user can manually resize text, the catch is that I don’t want the text to ever scroll.

I was using the
studio HTML5 demo as a starting point, the problem is as any given text is allocated to one slide, so as the text size is increased the slide sizes just increase and it doesn’t scale well.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Not an answer to your question, but one view is that HTML is not the right language for this – what you want can probably be achieved somehow using jQuery, but it’s likely to be really kludgy.

There is no native way of doing this, say by having a text block that gets a certain width, and its contents scaling to that width. Every resize of the window would have to trigger a complex recalculating operation.

I think this would be solvable much better, and smoother, in Flash.
