Is there a way to use javascript to increase the overall document text
size, just like if you click View->Text Size->Largest, Larger, Medium,
Smaller, Smallest? This is on IE browser.

You could dynamically alter the style.fontSize property of the body element
- but why bother? Browsers already come with a way for the user to choose
their font size, there's no need to muddy the water by duplicating
something the browser already does but which works only on one website.

I have tried that already and it does not work. It only changes the
size of text that does not have a size set. Text with size set by font
remains the same. I need something that changes the whole document, just
as how the menu items work. I need this functionallity because I am
writting a custom browser for internal use. Some users have problems
seeing the default text size so they need to be able to resize it.

<font> is deprecated and should not be used.
If you specify your font sizes with font-size relative units (% or em are
typically the best choice) then this isn't an issue.

So why not add a font size preference to the browser?

Why not set a browser cookie indicating which one of a set of CSS
stylesheets a user has selected?
You can override a FONT tag using CSS:
<html><head><ti tle>test page</title>
<style>body, font{ font: 20pt Arial, sans-serif; }</style>
</head>
<body>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><!-- sure enough: 20pt Arial!
-->hello</font></p></body>
</html>
The <font> tag is depricated, but it does not stop anyone from using it.
I have no control how other people author their HTML. I am not trying to
author the HTML, just want to change the size when the users need to see
bigger text.

The issue is that users will be viewing HTML files authored by other
people. Those HTML files, when downloaded to our servers must not be
modified. So, they view the HTML file in this custom browser, and
sometimes they need the text (text for the whole document, not a
specific part of the document) to be bigger.

Idiots are born every minute.....
I have no control how other people author their HTML.
But since you are developing an "custom browser for internal use" then
you have control over how your "browser" displays that garbage code.
I am not trying to author the HTML, just want to change the size
when the users need to see bigger text.
Then let them use an existing browser that has that built in. Or, code
your "browser" so that it has a Size> Button or Menu that alters it.

If you have no control over the webpage, why are you asking how to use
JavaScript to alter it? JavaScript typically has to be referenced from the
page!

I am asking because when the HTML is loaded in a typical browser, the
DOM model is generated. Since I am reusing IE browser control and
basically just showing my own menu, I have access to the DOM through the
exposed interfaces. If there is a way to do it in javascript, assumming
that javascript will be accessing the DOM, then I can do it behind the
scenes without touching the source.

Hi All;
I, like others, have been frustrated with designing

They simply did not scale the same.
I have discovered, to my chagrin, that IE7 does not seem
to offer any way to control the font size of a text input
element.
