[Javascript] FORCING BROWSER TEXT SIZE and/or TEXT ZOOM SETTINGS

    BUT in some cases, it is possible to manipulate items which can be selected in the IE menu, e.g. "Bookmark this" or "Full Screen".  I wonder if there's a hack for this...

  You have answered your own question. You are at the mercy of client browser settings.

  SETTINGS 



  Hi there, 

  Curious to know if there is any way using Javascript or other language to 
  force a TEXT SIZE (PC) or TEXT ZOOM (Mac) setting in a user's web browser? 

  In particular, I'd like to do the following: 

          If user = PC and browser = IE 
                  set TEXT SIZE to SMALLEST 

          else if user = PC and browser = NN 
                  set TEXT SIZE to 75% 

          else if user = Mac and browser = IE 
                  set TEXT SIZE to 80% 

          else if user = Mac and browser = NN 
                  set TEXT SIZE to 75% 



  NOTE: I'm already using style sheets throughout, but those settings get 
  overridden by the end user's browser default font settings. 

  Thanks in advance. 
                  

  -= Cheers =- 
          Steve
