Is there a way to override the browser font size settings with javascript. Basically we want to set the text size on a page so that if someone has their browser font setting say to "large" it does not take effect.
View 12 RepliesAll my font-sizes are set as relative sizes in CSS (large, medium, small,
x-small, etc). Let's say something is set in CSS to be xx-large, but a
visually impaired user wants it displayed even bigger. Can a script
determine an element's absolute size, *as it is being rendered by the
browser*, and then increment the element's font-size in absolute terms?
How can I change my text or font size when the user changes the browser size. Example: When the browser is maximized, the font goes to normal, when the browser window decreased, the font size is reduce.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm curious if it is possible to detect the browsers default font and
size? Most of the posts on this topic predate Windows XP, IE 5.5,
Mozilla Firefox, et al.
I've searched up and down the DOM properties, looped through most
objects and collections alerting properties and values, and I can't
find anything. This leads me to believe it is not possible to detect
the browsers default font settings.
The problem:
I have an XHTML STRICT page which has some event listeners attached for onload and resize. I'm doing a bit of Javascript DHTML on these events. When a user changes the browser font size, the javascipt function needs to run. Although the TOPMENU DIV gets resized when the font changes size, its not a page resize so the function doesn't get run. I fixed this in IE6 by using a second function which is run onload and sets an event on the div object in the page after its been defined.
Problem is this doesn't work in Firefox.
Mozilla DOM reference says there is no resize event on a DIV so is there a work around to make it work in FIREFOX? i.e. can I force a resize event to happen on a div in firefox or is there some other event I can trap when a user changes the browser font size?
here's my js code: topmenu is what I'm trying to trap the resize event from.
this code is loaded in the head of the page.
function maindiv(){
estartup=document.getElementById("startup");
econtain=document.getElementById("contain");
emain=document.getElementById("main");
etopmenu=document.getElementById("topmenu");
emaincontent=document.getElementById("maincontent");
nopx = document.childNodes ? 'px' : 0;
contw = document.body.clientWidth - 80;
conth = document.body.clientHeight - 80;
if (contw < 0) { contw = 0;}
if (conth < 0) { conth = 0;}
econtain.style.width = contw+nopx;
econtain.style.height = conth+nopx;
if (conth >= 100 + etopmenu.clientHeight) {
emain.style.height = (conth - etopmenu.clientHeight - 100 )+nopx;
}
if (contw >= 172) {
emaincontent.style.width = (contw - 172 )+nopx;
}
estartup.style.visibility = 'hidden'
}
function fsize() {
etm=document.getElementById("topmenu");
if (typeof window.addEventListener != 'undefined')
{
etm.addEventListener("resize", maindiv, false);
}
else if (typeof document.addEventListener != 'undefined')
{
etm.addEventListener("resize", maindiv, false);
}
else if (typeof window.attachEvent != 'undefined')
{
etm.attachEvent("onresize", maindiv);}
else
{
window.alert('Failed to attach an Event Listener
Please Report');
}
}
if (typeof window.addEventListener != 'undefined')
{
window.addEventListener("load", maindiv, false);
window.addEventListener("load", fsize, false);
window.addEventListener("resize", maindiv, false);
}
else if (typeof document.addEventListener != 'undefined')
{
document.addEventListener("load", maindiv, false);
document.addEventListener("load", fsize, false);
document.addEventListener("resize", maindiv, false);
}
else if (typeof window.attachEvent != 'undefined')
{
window.attachEvent("onload", maindiv);
window.attachEvent("onload", fsize);
window.attachEvent("onresize", maindiv);
}

window.alert('Failed to attach an Event Listener

Any clues?
where da boss wants our a large piece of our site to be fully dynamic and integrated on any screen size. This means changing font on size. Well I cam up with a solution, figured if no one has one better, then i'll share

How can I change font size according to window size?font-size=xx% is
not working as I expect.Plz give me code for that.My wish is to chage
font size according to window size, so that I can always get same type
of screen.Currently when i reduce my window , my text also changes its
position,looks quite messy.
window.getComputedStyle() is no good in MSIE. Is there a way to determine
the pixel size of the default (or user-specified) font for BODY in IE?
when i resize the div then i want the text within font tag should be resized as per my div. for example if my div height=400 and width=200 after resized dynamically using jquery then my font (eg: vivek) must be resized with same height and width.
is there any property (in js or jqurey) through which i can set height and width of a font but not using size property.
More and more we see on web pages the option of choosing the font size.
I would like to offer the same option on my page, but I can get started.
I know that CSS and Javascripting are working together, I just not able to change the font-size property of the CSS.
Why is it bad to use pixels to specify font size. If people think its too small/too big, they can Ctrl + and Ctrl - in their browser even in IE. is there another reason why its a bad idea to use pxs?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a current script that I am using to dynamically resize the font within all paragraph tags on a page. Does anybody have a simple JavaScript that will retreive the P tag and change it's font size, either up or down a few pixels?
I would like slim code that might only work in the latest browsers. IE6 and Netscape 7 is fine.
I'm attempting to make a web page that adapts to the size of your browser size when it maximized. Because I'm only 15 I'm not such a great programmer or coder. I've done my best with the resources I have though (Fluent in Lua and a natural ability to pick languages syntax up quickly)
Here is what I have so far, it doesn't work and it is starting to puzzle me. As it seems correct as I look at it. I'm sorry if this question show my ignorance. I try my best to hide it.
Some of it is Copy pasted from sources on Google. But only for educational purposes, I learn off reading, examining and testing out snippets.
I'm basically trying to get the max size of the window and resize the div accordingly.
I;m trying to implement increase/decrease font size buttons on a site, but nothing is happening. I've set breakpoints and tried changing $('html') to $('body') and although the code runs, no attributes are set. The code I'm using is:
[Code]...
Even if I remove the cookie, the code runs but nothing happens. Am I missing something obvious?
I operate as a admin a online print site where clients can enter in contact info to create imprint on promotional items.
I create pdf templates with field placeholders |1.1|[address]
This template is uploaded to the print site which interprets the tags and makes them into variable fields for clients to enter in their info. The site can pull the font name, size, position, etc... from the pdf template.
For each info field that the site creates it also has an option to apply javascript to that field. So if the template predefines font size X, I just want to apply code that will affect only the numbers of that text and make the numbers a larger font size than the letters.
The code I'm use to writing is pretty simple stuff for example to format dots instead of dashes for phone numbers like:
if (hasValue(curInput.name))
{
if (! AutoFormat(curInput, '###.###.####', 'Please enter your number in a 555.555.5555 format'))curInput.focus();
}
I want to deviate from using css to designate a font size in one place.
I have a string with a name.
This is stored in a variable called "name."
I just re-defined name to include district number.
Now, it is name=lastname+', '+district;
I am appending this string into the html dom.
I want the district portion to appear in a slightly smaller font.
How can I do this without having to set up a separate <span>? Or can this be done?
I have a button (in html) and I want the center of the button to be on the center of the line I'm typing on... I was just putting it inside a span and then using this code to move it down.
<span style="position:relative; bottom:-10;">
It worked great! But... once I started allowing my users to change the font sizes the buttons got bigger and they needed to be moved down further...
if the font size was +1:
<font size="+1"><span style="position:relative; bottom:-10;">
if the font size was +6:
<font size="+6"><span style="position:relative; bottom:-27.5;">
So is there a way in javascript to detect the current font size and then adjust the span position based off of that? If I can just get the number of the current font size I can do all the rest of the coding, I just need a way to figure out the current font size and put it in a variable... I was thinking of using something like 1.0em so that it stays the same but then we have a basis of measuring off of but I have no clue..
I am trying to write a Javascript that sets and checks a cookie based on font-size buttons that increase and decrease the font-size in a certain div. The increase and decrease of the font in the right div works fine, the cookie doesn't seem to be working. Attached is my code.

I am working on a project and want to give the users the option to scale their font sized up and down, using a javascript or javascript/CSS combo. Basially, clicking the text icon once will enlarge it (to whatever I determine) and clicking that icon again will revert it to the normal size. They will not be able to incrementally get larger with each click... just one size. Code:

I need to get JavaScript to change the font size used for a website if Opera is detected. I have been trying this but it hasn't worked:
function changeFooter(){
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera") >= 0) { // if I alert this line the output is 0
document.getElementById("footer").style.fontSize = '0.5em';
};

I was hoping that I could benefit from your collective wisdom as I am not sure where I am going wrong with this and several hours spent searching the web for answers have been fruitless so far...
My knowledge of JavaScript is not very extensive, I haven't studied it in great depth so perhaps I am making some very silly mistakes here.
My pseudo code for this exercise is something like this:
detect browser
if browser = Opera {
change font-size for body to 90%
}

I've seen dozens of scripts, some in javascript, some in php, that will allow you to do one or the other. Has anyone run across a script that has three buttons/images/links that will let you increase the font size, decrease the font size and switch font families? Either JS or php will suffice.
