OK people, this list is about CSS, not accessibility.
So no replies to this thread please.
That said, since this message is going out to the list in any case, I'll
nudge you in the right direction.
Please - no onlist replies to this thread,
(ii) the XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS can be done online at W3C but what
about WAI 'AAA'. How is this achived, I hear it has to be chaecked
manually.
Well there are automated checkers, but, well let this article explain

Any links, books, tutorials would be much appreciated,

(i) How can I change the text size on a page
The classic answer to that can be found here:

However it should be noted that since it relies on javascript and cookies,
it fails to be accessible since if either one is turned off then the
font-resizing doesn't work...
The nhsquality site you linked to doesn't use javascript but it still
relies on cookies. The only way round it would be to pass a fontsize
parameter around from page to page...
Alternatively, so long as you don't use fixed pixel sizes (because IE
doesn't let you resize then) the user can simply use the font size
changing built into the browser of their choice ;)
