This is a browser issue. IE7 and Opera have page zoom, while Firefox and Safari support text zooming. See a comparison.

If the user chooses to zoom, that is their choice. You shouldn't try to restrict that. What exactly is the problem when zooming?

There's not much you can do about that except to code your page in such a way that the bad effect of the page zoom is minimal. Have a fluid layout instead of a fixed one and only use images if they are essential are just one or two ideas.

detect browser zoom

I wrote a little script using flash and javascript to detect the browsers zoom level. Also a callback is possible if the zoom state changes. This also works for other browsers :-)
