[Javascript] FORCING BROWSER TEXT SIZE and/or TEXT ZOOM SETTI NGS

[Filipiak, Bob (Contractor)]

AFAIK there are scripts out there so visitors can click and add your site to
their bookmarks and you could probably do a window.resize() but I personally
don't like anyone messing with my settings. I have my browser set to size
that is comfortable for me and fits into how I use my desktop. Any sites
that mess with or try to mess with my settings I don't go back to.
 
Just my opinion.

    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.

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
