<HTML><BODY STYLE="font:10pt verdana; border:none;"><DIV>I guess you haven't heard about the CSS command "!Important" </DIV> <DIV>read about it, it's done to prevent user setings from overriding you're style.</DIV> <DIV>It's also very nice to give size of every font and text with --<STRONG>pt, </STRONG>and not with <STRONG>px,</STRONG></DIV> <DIV>That way at browser default setings, user can not resize you're font, it is not afected with size command. And you will not have to worry about the browsername.</DIV> <DIV>Points are interpreted the same way and size in every browser, only pixel wary from the screen resolution.<BR>State that the CSS u're using is CSS1 it may trick the users CSS2</DIV> <DIV>Because in CSS2 the user can override the author settings with the same command for instance:</DIV> <DIV><PRE>P { font-size: 18pt ! important } </PRE><PRE>while in CSS1 they can't.</PRE><PRE>Either way, these users are rare, or non-existant for now.</PRE></DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial">----- Original Message -----</DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt Arial; FONT-COLOR: black"><B>From:</B> Steven Pesant</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial"><B>Sent:</B> Tuesday, April 17, 2001 8:03 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial"><B>To:</B> javascript@LaTech.edu</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial"><B>Subject:</B> [Javascript] FORCING BROWSER TEXT SIZE and/or TEXT ZOOM SETTINGS</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV>Hi there,<BR><BR>Curious to know if there is any way using Javascript or other language to<BR>force a TEXT SIZE (PC) or TEXT ZOOM (Mac) setting in a user's web browser?<BR><BR>In particular, I'd like to do the following:<BR><BR>If user = PC and browser = IE<BR>set TEXT SIZE to SMALLEST<BR><BR>else if user = PC and browser = NN<BR>set TEXT SIZE to 75%<BR><BR>else if user = Mac and browser = IE<BR>set TEXT SIZE to 80%<BR><BR>else if user = Mac and browser = NN<BR>set TEXT SIZE to 75%<BR><BR><BR>NOTE: I'm already using style sheets throughout, but those settings get<BR>overridden by the end user's browser default font settings.<BR><BR>Thanks in advance.<BR><BR><BR>-= Cheers =-<BR>Steve<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Javascript mailing list<BR>Javascript@LaTech.edu<BR>http://www.LaTech.edu/mailman/listinfo/javascript<BR> <DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML><DIV><BR><br clear=all><hr>Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at <a href="http://www.hotmail.com">http://www.hotmail.com</a>.<br></p></DIV>
