Hello, I stumbled onto a page today on which I could not change the font size in IE5. I haven't played with font sizes in a while. I created a test file [1] that uses 5 methods to size text. From my recollection, when we were originally testing the FONT element (a few years back) a user could not increase the font size. Therefore, it became an accessibility issue. However, since the valid HTML values of the FONT element's "size" attribute are only proportional (either 1-7 or relative using +/- an integer) they actually resize well (at least in IE5 and Netscape 4.7 for windows). Do people have older browsers that they can run these tests on? I'll be interested in feedback. I wish we had kept better track of this a few years ago...better late than never I suppose. --wendy [1] http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/tests/font-sizes.html -- wendy a chisholm world wide web consortium web accessibility initiative madison, wi usa tel: +1 608 663 6346 /--
