How Can Text Size Be Set to Variable with FP2002/2003?

[AA Smith]

Some web sites such as http://solari.com/opportunity.htm allow viewers to
select text sizes ranging from smallest to largest, others don't. Using FP
2002/2003, how can I set the pages of my web site to permit users to select
a text size that is easiest for them to read?

Size your text using ems, %, or named sizes like small, x-small etc.
See www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/ems-percent.htm for some examples.

Hi Dick,

Well, assuming that you're talking about the fint resizing when you use the
View|Text Size menu, you've opened up a real can of worms there. Most
browsers support this in one way or another, and there are differences in
the way that different browsers support it. Here is an article that explains
how to do this so that it will work in (almost) all browsers:

As you will see, you've got quite a job on your hands!

Thanks, Kevin! I appreciate your feedback. I have checked the HTML code in
my home page, but I find no CSS rule nor do I find a Style section that even
remotely resembles the example shown at the web site I found by clicking on
the hyperlink below. What might I be doing wrong?

Thanks, Ron! I appreciate your help.

However, I cannot find any setting in FP2003 that permits me to specify text
size in % , ems nor named size. So, I must be looking in the wrong pace.
Where might I find those settings?

You use the keyboard to type them in.
Switch to code (or split) view.

The example page uses CSS to size the fonts.
