Zooming again
 

Richard supplied me with the solution so (older) visitors can enlarge
the fonts on the site.
It is: <input type="button" value="KLIK HIER VOOR GROTE LETTERS"
onclick="document.body.style.fontSize = '2em'">
<input type="button" value="klik hier voor standaard letters"
onclick="document.body.style.fontSize = '1em'">
Building antother site for elderly people I found this solution:
Vergroot deze pagina door in het rondje te klikken met:<br>
<input type="radio" name="z"
onclick="document.body.style.zoom=1.0;this.blur(); ">
100%
<input type="radio" name="z"
onclick="document.body.style.zoom=1.5;this.blur(); ">
150%
<input type="radio" name="z"
onclick="document.body.style.zoom=2.0;this.blur(); ">
200%
<input type="radio" name="z"
onclick="document.body.style.zoom=3.0;this.blur(); ">
300%
This works perfectly in IE. But nothing happens in Mozilla.
Can anybody tell me why ?

Thanks
Peter

Looks proprietry to me? Here's the Microsoft 'official' way of doing it:

I did a quick google and it seems to be an IE-only feature.

Because in Richard's original you're using document.body.style.fontSize
and in the new "improved" version you're using the totally made up
document.body.style.zoom.

Do I *need* improving? <checks.../> Hmmm, perhaps. A couple of weeks at the
snow may help. It's puking down at the hill right now :-)

Zoom does not work in mozilla (or other non-IE browsers) because it is a
microsoft proprietory property. It is not part of the W3C standard.

(watch the wrap) scroll down to the bit where it says <q>This property is a
Microsoft extension to [CSS]</q>

Ho!Ho!Ho1
I didn´t miss Her Majesty´s post. I followed the link she pointed.
But I couldn´t believe and understand that IE had this exclusively.
Furthermore I was given the impression by all the experts here,
that Mozilla was one of the best. So nowadays I use that and IE only for
testing purposes. I´m still trying to find some way to achieve a similar
result for Mozilla. I refuse to believe that no one in this part of www
can´t find my solution.
Miranda and Richard thank you very much for making things clearer for me.
Don´t forget I´m a (dirty) old man with deminishing grey stuff.

I already have told you -- because it's "totally made up". If you want
something to work reliably, use techniques defined by a standard. Don't
use things that you (or somebody else) just made up on a whim.
