<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi there,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Curious to know if there is any way using Javascript or other language to </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>force a TEXT SIZE (PC) or TEXT ZOOM (Mac) setting in a user's web browser?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>In particular, I'd like to do the following:</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>If user = PC and browser = IE</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>set TEXT SIZE to SMALLEST</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>else if user = PC and browser = NN</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>set TEXT SIZE to 75%</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>else if user = Mac and browser = IE</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>set TEXT SIZE to 80%</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>else if user = Mac and browser = NN</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>set TEXT SIZE to 75%</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>NOTE: I'm already using style sheets throughout, but those settings get </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>overridden by the end user's browser default font settings.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks in advance.</FONT>
<BR>
