Is there a button I can add to my web page so that people can easily
increase the font size?

This is a website for the elderly - any other resources for building a
website for the elderly is appreciated.

THANKS!

you're more likely going to want to look into using/ switching style sheets
based on user selection. I've done some similar stuff and it's worked out
fine.
you'll probably want to stay with .css for accessibility. you don't need
much in the way of "alternative rendering" but the .css will allow you to
make it more appealing to people who must use a screen reader. there's even
a .css rule for @Braille!

Hi Bill:
In addition to the advice that chris gave you, here's a tutorial I just
found on A List Apart: Power To The People: Relative Font Sizes
