Does anybody have a trick to detect the browsers text-size setting. That is, how to determine the browser's current setting of the menu option: view...text-size... smallest, smaller, medium, larger, largest.

...OR...

Is there a way to make the font sizes on the page fixed/unaffected by the setting of the browsers "text-size"?

The Web Browser text size does not have any impact when using 'pixel' as the unit of measure in CSS styling.

E.G.: 
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES AS 'Sales'
BY COUNTRY AS 'Country'
HEADING
"Car Sales By Country"
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE HOLD AS H001 FORMAT HTMTABLE
ON TABLE SET STYLESHEET *
TYPE=REPORT, GRID=OFF, $
TYPE=DATA, CLASS=cssData, $
TYPE=TITLE, CLASS=cssTitle, $
TYPE=HEADING, CLASS=cssHeading, $
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
BODY { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; }
TD { font-size: 12px; }
.cssHeading { font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; color: blue; }
U { text-decoration: none; }
.cssTitle { font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; color: navy; }
.cssData { font-size: 12px; }
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
!IBI.FIL.H001;
</BODY>
</HTML>
-HTMLFORM END

Thanks Francis! As to my first question (detecting browser setting) I'm surprised to find little. Have seen a few tidbits where a change is detected but not an api to the font-size setting, that I can find. like the screen object, for example, to determine resolution.

eg...

<script type="text/javascript">
function whatsize()
{
alert( screen.AvailHeight + ' by ' + screen.AvailWidth );
}
