Accessability Font Size Toggles

[glenwheeler]

Hi Guys,

I see font size toggles around alot of the websites latley. The BBC site has them. How are these actually implemented? What language and how do they work/operate? Any information would be cool.

It will pretty much switch the stylesheet Glen...

Peekaboo's recent thread http://www.designforums.co.uk/web-design-layout/3342-jquery-background-switch.html has links to various methods...

I guess you swap out stylesheets with various font sizes. Ideally using php ("if it can be done server side, it should be").

Yeah it can be done via php, but TBH I would just set a get varaible test for the get varaible, if it is present load a seperate style sheet overridding the bodys main font size. Set a cookie and then test for a cookie on subsequnt pages as well, to stop them having to select it on every page.
