scuze my lazy code, on a teabreak - this is just to hilight a way of using line-height to stop the fonts sliding down.
$("#names").click(function(){ $("#names span").animate({ fontSize: "50px", }, 1500 ); $("#names span").animate({ fontSize: "1em", }, 1500 ); }); #names { display:block; width:100%; height:100px; line-height:100px; } #names span { height:100%; line-height:100%; } <div id="names">Groom <span>&</span> Bride</div> another alternative is to put each word in their own div, stick all 3 in a container and float them to the left. then resizing one won't change the height of the others.
