I have issues with our users using the ctrl+mouse scroll to increase the
font size and not know how to out back in our application. Is there a way to
disable this option on webpages. I have gone too many sites on the internet
and notice that some pages I can scroll to increase the font but others stay
fixed.

Use an absolute font size in your web pages. <font size="12em">this is fixed
size</font>
However this flies in the face of good page design as the User Is King..
they should be able to decide what font size they need to see the page in.

If it is screwing up the layout of your web pages and they are complaining
that it looks ugly then you are probably using absolute positioning and
sizing. There are some good articles at thecodeproject.com (search for
stylesheets)
