My site is very small, and plain - it will mostly be text (for now). I
have used a good mix of css in the design.
With usability in mind I would like to add some specific functionality
(with the vision impaired in mind).
I would like to allow the user/reader of the web site the ability to
select another font size, say from a drop downbox. This would increase
the size of any text between paragraph tags, or in table data tags.
This device is not something that is a built in option from the
browser, but instead it is something right on the web page (i.e.
something I created).
Is this something that is done in the html or the css? Can you give any
hints on where I can start?
Thanks in advance.

The user already have this ability, built into their browsers.

Possible, certainly. There are a lot of things that are possible that
are incredibly bad ideas, though.

"Jukka K. Korpela" <jk******@cs.tu t.fi> writes: But you would be wrong. CSS is overrideable by design, but when applying an
author style sheet, it must be applied correctly. If you interpret a
browser's font size control as applying a user style sheet, then its effect
should be clearly documented in CSS terms (and in Opera or Firefox, it
isn't), and this would be a somewhat unnatural interpretation.
Opera doesn't have a font size control (although you could use a user
style - I use "body { font-size:100% !important}"). What it does have
is a zoom feature that works on all content, not just text.
Well, there is also the "minimum point size" setting, for avoiding
completely unreadable text (before zooming). That's not something you can
set with standard CSS, but you could just as well say that it's due to
the virtual declaration "-o-min-font-size:6pt;".

Hi all,
I have a user control that uses control literal to build
a heading with a link, and a div containing links below.
As the link heading is hit, I want to change the style of

The App works fine if I don't add the user control that I created

But as soon as I add my user control (Here used as the TopNav for my page) all

I would like to use a user control as a template inside a repeater.
Some of the fields in the control should be hidden depending on whether
or not there is data. I'm still a ASP .Net newbie so the way I'm going
about doing this might be a little off. I'd appreciate some help.
Below is the code I have thus far but I'm not sure how to reference the
user control within the foreach loop.

Hi all,
I'm building some style sheets and trying to play the old game of
balancing designer pixel perfection and still allowing users to adjust
their font sizes. The compromise I've made with the designer is that
he'll accept allowing users to change font sizes it it "looks right"
with the default setting.
I'm using em to set the font size. So, anyway, here's the problem. At
0.96em we get the perfect font size. But, if the font is...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
