Increase text size

[Guest]

Hi

Just created a site for an In Home Adult Day Care (www.luncheonrx.com) and
want to give them the ability to increase font size - can anyone help?
Thanks - Susie

I'd write the website with 14-point type from the gitgo.

But, you can tell them to hold ctrl-q and press + or ++ to enlarge the type
in their browser.

You can't do it in your web software.

Use % or names for font sizes, then the font can be resized in all browsers
by using the scroll wheel on the mouse (IE7 will zoom the page, to change
the font use the View->Text Size) or using the menus.

If you use pixels or points to size your fonts, then have the users use
FireFox, Opera or Netscape to view the pages.

That is usually a browser function and depends on the browser - usually
under the"view > text size" menu(s).

I have seen scripts that do this (two buttons on a page with symbols like A+
(enlarge) and A- (reduce), but not sure how it is achieved, but would
somehow tie into the browser's function for bigger or smaller text and again
would depend on the browser supporting the script.

Javascript, which dynamically changes a stylesheet....
