Hi, I've noticed on some websites they have an option to increase/decrease the text size. I am aware that you can do that through your browsers menus, but I was wondering if anyone knew what code was required to add the options to your webpage and also, if anyone knew of any other useful accessibility tools which could be added to the webpage? Thanks!
I think it'd be done with JavaScript, changing the text-size property of the body in css. It's pretty simple to do. Read about it here Theres loads of things you can do to make your site more accessible. I did an essay on it for university not long ago. Most of it is self evedent, such as keeping to standards when coding, keeping alternate text on images and embeded media, title attributes on links, etc.
I discuss text size manipulation and list several Accessibility tools on my Web Content Accessibility page. James
