Customer Change Font Size

[dfora001]

I have noticed on other web sites a small option that allows users to increase or decrease the font size on the page. I pretty sure its done through javascript/ DHTML but I have no clue how I would apply it to the entire site or just to the content (everything but the menu's). If someone knows how or knows a contribution that will work I would be most thankful.

 

Thanks :lol:

You can aontrol all of your font sizes in your stylesheet.css.

OSC has all of their fonts set to a fixed size. I set mine to a percentage. This lets the users browser take control over font settings.

Check out this article. It explains alot about font settings.

Also, most modern browsers have the ability to increase/decrease font size for a page.

 

In Firefox, go to View->Text Size->Increase/Decrease

 

In Internet Explorer, its View->Text Size, then select the size you would like. IE only offers 5 options.

Yes those options are ther, but if you have a fixed pixel setting then the font size does not change. You still need to unfreeze the font size so the browser can increase/decrease it.
