Browser View Text Size won't change

I created a website with CSS determining the font sizes. In IE if I look at
View Text Size it is set to Medium and will not change regardless of the
setting chosen from largest to smallest, it stays at medium. Any ideas why it
won't change? Is it because the point size is set in the external style sheet
settings?

Probably you have set the font sizes to pixel or point values. In IE
(unlike every other browser) you cannot change the font size in the browser
using View->Text Size when the font size uses pixels or points (though you
can using the Accessibility dialogues). The way to allow accessibility is to
use ems, %, or keywords (like small, large, medium etc.) for font sizing.
See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/ems-percent.aspx for more
information.
