so I need some text size controls on a news article page, and while I can easily comprehend the method behind the style switcher method that is everywhere to switch between a few preset sizes - like www.wired.com - I'd like to use the " + / - " method that you see around the place.. say , like here: http://www.sacbee.com/content/business/story/8273039p-9203704c.html that allows you to bump up the size progressively and limits you at either extreme of sizing.
question is, the options for the " + / - " method I've seen use _javascript_ that seems a little excessive - in saying that tho I know next to nothing about writing _javascript_ (i'm a copier and paster in that department :).
Can anyone point me to a particularly ellegant execution or tutorial for a " + / - " text size method? obviously keen to keep it all on track & standards based aswell :)
should also mention my site css uses keywords to define the base font size and %'s for variations. I like the idea of the wired.com method cause i can specifically target the article body copy and have it enlarge it quite a bit, but limit the 'enlarging' (?) of navigation to a smaller increment so as not to break it. i'm not sure the " + / - " method is going to allow me that much control...?
any help appreciated.
pete
