Event Listener For Browser Font Size Change
Aug 20, 2006
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);
}
else
{
window.alert('Failed to attach an Event Listener
Please Report');
}
Any clues?

All 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?

Does jquery have an event defined for when the user changes the size of his browser window? I couldn't find one, but sometimes I don't see the forest for the trees.

I'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.

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.

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 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';
};
[Code].....
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%
}
[Code]....

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.

I am using FrontPage 2003. How do I change the font, size, and color of the script? Here is the code I have:
<BODY
<SCRIPT>
var date1 = "Feb 14, 2000"
var mons = new Array("Jan", "Feb", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "Sept", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec")
var now = new Date();
var mm = now.getMonth();
mm = mons[mm];
var dd = now.getDate();
var yy = now.getYear();
var date2 = mm + " " + dd +", "+ yy;
function daysNoAccident() {
date1 = date1.toString();
date2 = date2.toString();
date1 = Date.parse(date1);
date2 = Date.parse(date2);
date1 /= 1000; date1 /= 60; // minutes
date2 /= 1000; date2 /= 60;
var result = Math.abs(date1 - date2);
result = result/60; // = hours
result = result * 8/24; //hours worked per day
result = result * 5/7; // working days in week
result = result * 35 // number of employees
result = parseInt(result);
document.write ("You have worked " + result + " hours since 14th February 2000 without an accident");
}
</SCRIPT>

Is it possible to use the same function and just change a variable in order to vary the font size of the same element by reference to its id ?
The following does not appear to work:
function changeFont(fontpx) {
document.getElementById("sameid").style.fontSize = "fontpx�;
}
changeFont(12px);

I build a website with Typo3 and it works fine, except for the text size in Internet Explorer (and Opera). I tried anything from changing the CSS templates (excluding them) to changing px to pt to em and so. Finally, I think i need a Javascript that detects the browser and if it is Internet Explorer (or Opera) the textsize should be reduce by 1. It therfore should be the same like manually clicking in IE on View->text size -> smaller (default is medium).
My javascript (I just use Javascript for this single purpose) does not work/it does not do anything:
function resizeText(){ if (browserName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer") {document.body.style.fontSize = parseFloat (document.body.style.fontSize) -1 ;}}

I have an iframe that includes a button:
<input type="button" value="close this window" onclick="window.close();" >
I would like to detect the iframe close event from the parent window, I
was using this code but I did something wrong because the temp function
is fired every time the parent page loads:
function temp(){
alert('the iframe was closed');
}
function setup(){
var myIFrame = document.getElementById("iframe1");
if (myIFrame.addEventListener) {
myIFrame.addEventListener('onclose', temp(), false);
}else if (myIFrame.attachEvent) {
myIFrame.attachEvent ('onclose',temp);
}else{
myIFrame.onclose=temp();
}
}
window.onload=setup;

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?

I 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.
