Give a man (or woman) a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll be fed for a lifetime. How many websites do we come across with some Java or server-side option to increase text size? It's almost as common as the XHTML and CSS validator links. Is it really useful? No, not really... how about if these sites had a link to a page that explained how to increase font-sizes in various browsers, use zoom options, etc? This is a lot better, because then your users know how to use your site better as well as all the other sites they encounter. Basically, they're fed for a lifetime. As an aside, I think it's useful for sites to have options to change the colors or fonts of the layout, but not just to increase font size. Many of them only increase the font size by a very small amount anyway. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.com ... rdpdesign.com ... cssliquid.com ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
