Do you mean a menu or a magnifier? A menu is a series of links, it doesn't make things bigger - unless the menu options include font size options (and in that case you wouldn't drag the menu over text to change its size, you'd select the options). > A good example of the a menu similar is Microsoft's 'Page Options' > available in their MSDN: > > http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dncscol/html/csharp01212002.asp?frame=true Which is a series of links with no dragging possible... unless it depends on some MSIE specific API. If it is a magnifier you are after, then creating a site specific one with client side scripting is a very bad idea. It wouldn't be reliable (because different browsers have different levels of scripting support), and it would only work on your site. Magnifiers exist for most systems, so pointing your users towards something that will work for _any_ website _and_ applications other then their web browser would probably be a wiser course of action. http://www.magnifiers.org/links/Download_Software/Screen_Magnifiers/ has links to a bunch of screen magnifiers. -- David Dorward http://david.us-lot.org/ Redesign in progress: http://stone.thecoreworlds.net/ Microsoft announces IE is dead (so upgrade): http://minutillo.com/steve/weblog/2003/5/30/microsoft-announces-ie-is-dead
