Remember text sizing is available to most all browsers from within
it's options (I believe).
While CSS Switcher is recommended, I have seen other solutions using
JavaScript.
If you're looking for a lesser Javascript solution try,
<<http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/25967.html>;http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/25967.html>;.
With both the default browser text size option and such JavaScript
solution, one might think that if the users browsers JavaScript were
turned off, it would not be an issue for accessibility. Well, as long
as <No Script> were properly implemented. Thus such features are only
short-cut features, available only if a user wanted to take advantage
of such.
Is it not true most visually impaired users would set their browser
to their preferred text-size preferences any ways without such need
for larger/smaller text options?
I'd be interested in other thought's on this alternate JavaScript
approach as a sub feature for accessibility to the browsers default
text-sizing options.
