Adjusting the font size throught DHTML
Hello,
My site uses dhtml to make the font a specific size. If a user would use the Internet Explorer menu to increase or decrese the size (View > Text Size > Largest), the font size wouldn't change at all. In a portion of a site, the font size will be much smaller (still using dhtml there) and I want users to have the option to increase or decrease the text size automatically at their own will - for that portion. Here's what I would like: a link users click like this:
Increase Text
Decrease Text
Clicking one of the options would increase/decrease the text in the coding:
this text will be altered
Does anyone know how to do this effect?
Thank you, Sabrina

There is a way to add a CSS rule dynamically with IE. This would allow you to change the font-size property for the DIV. But I do not know how to do it. I will hunt around for the code.
Another way you could do this is by re-writing the entire contents of the DIV with new font settings. But this is probably not a realistic option.
