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

[BEKIM BACAJ]

I guess you haven't heard about the CSS command "!Important"  
read about it, it's done to prevent user setings from overriding you're style.
It's also very nice to give size of every font and text with --pt, and not with px,
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.
Points are interpreted the same way and size in every browser, only pixel wary from the screen resolution.
State that the CSS u're using is CSS1 it may trick the users CSS2
Because in CSS2 the user can override the author settings with the same command for instance:
P { font-size: 18pt ! important }

while in CSS1 they can't.
Either way, these users are rare, or non-existant for now.

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
