John, Have you thought about running a JavaScript font resizer and storing preferences in a cookie. It won't work for whatever percentage (9-13?) of users who disable JavaScript but at least it will permit the majority of your audience to set and return.
Something a long the lines of http://www.seowebsitepromotion.com/site_map.htm at the top of the screen. The code's pretty simple and I can sort it off-list if you wish.

For the most part, the debute of my "standards-friendly" redesign has been met with great fanfare, but I've been receiving a few emails from people saying that the text is "way too small." This, I do not understand, as I've used em to specify font sizes, and they all look good to most. Of course, I'm not striving for MOST...I want ALL. So, what would be affecting these users who are saying the text is too small? Default computer font size? What do I tell them, or is there anything more I can do on my site? http://cslewis.drzeus.net Thanks again. -- ~john _________________________ Dr. Zeus Web Development http://www.DrZeus.net "content without clutter" ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ****************************************************** -- No virus found in this incoming message.
