Is it done with a different style sheet for each text-size? Nicole _____________________________

Edit: here's the original article (I think Womble used the Paul Sowden version - couldn't swear to it): http://www.alistapart.com/articles/alternate/ There's several different versions on Alistapart - just search for switcher. < Message edited by Tailslide -- 12/9/2005 3:10:38 > _____________________________ "My strategy is so simple an idiot could have devised it" Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Blood, Sweat & Rust - A Land Rover restoration project (in reply to Nicole)

I can do the style sheets okay, but "Javascript Switch", you've got me there. Will look around and see what info I can find. Nicole _____________________________ (in reply to Tailslide)

Actually the JS switch is the easy bit. Figuring out the stylesheets and their precedence can be a real pain. _____________________________ "My strategy is so simple an idiot could have devised it" Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Blood, Sweat & Rust - A Land Rover restoration project (in reply to Nicole)

Yep, Tail's right, it was the Paul Sowden one I used. For some reason known only to the web design gods though it was a %!$ to get working consistently - seen it working fine on other sites though (required an extra bit of js to get it to play nice for me though). Part of the problem, as Tail said was figuring out the precedence - once I'd figured that out it wasn't so bad. The extra js I used (assisted by Tail) is there to make sure it loads and unloads right when you switch pages becuase for some reason that site hates me and has a mind of its own. Like Tail says, there's a few on Alistapart, including a php one that looks simpler and is server side so in theory should cause less problems which I may take another look at next time... /is hoping current client doesn't want switcher built in - will have to try and disuade her from the idea when we meet this afternoon It was a really useful learning experience though, and one I might repeat when I'm feeling brave enough :lol _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ (in reply to Nicole)
