How To Design A Site That Will Allow User To Change Font Size In Ie

In some websites, the text size will change if a visitor is using Internet Explorer and selects "View" > "Text Size" > (then select small to large text size). Can someone tell me what is required in order to make that happen?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

font-size: xem; (where x is the size)

So to get a size of roughly 14px on a medium setting you'd need to put,

font-size: 1em;

You'll then find when the View > Text Size option is used the font will change in size!

Alternatively you can use percentages,

font-size: 120%;

 

Use CSS and really either EM's or Pixels for your font size.

All sites should be able to have their text manipulated by IE

 

Erm... if you use pixels (px's) though he wont be able to achieve the effect he requires...

 

IE has the ability to modify text sizes that are in pixels
