Phillip,
Thanks for the help but this does stuff the change on an event. I need to
set the font initially depending on the size of the screen. It will never
need to change again. I've written some pseudo code here (remember I don't
know what I'm doing here so I'm just sort of guessing....):
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
function SetFontSize()
{
x = screen.width;
y = screen.height;
fontsize = 14;
if (x < 1024) {
fontsize=14;
}
else
{
fontsize=20;
}
var FontSizeDiv;
FontSizeDiv = getElementByID("FontSizeDiv");
FontSizeDiv.Style.Font.Size = fontsize;
}
</SCRIPT>
<body onload="SetFontSize()">
<div id="FontSize"><font size="12">This is the stuff that will need to
be resized.</font>
</body>

Take a look at the font-size attribute on the MSDN. It has samples on how
to
change the font-size in javascript:

Further information on this: I need to be able to do this through
straight
HTML not through ASP.Net (I create an HTML page that then get's
downloaded
to a remote machine that displays the HTML file.)
I've already figured out what I want to do for this section is put in a
<font size= ></font> and make the size dependent on screen size.
I just don't know javascript well enough to be able to figure out how to
call a javascript routine to have it return the appropriate size value.
TIA - J.
