Dynamic font resizing

Dynamic changing of the font sizes.

Frequently, a font enlargement/reduction is desired by user input.

With this JS snippet it is possible without problem.

Filename: mootools.fontsize.js

Folder: template/lib/mootools/plugin-1.2/

Condition: → Browser JavaScript active




Embed into the page:

<div class="top">
.....
  <!-- JS: fontsize -->
  <div id="fontsizer"></div>
....
</div>

“top” is an assumed container that can also mean different (see CSS below).

With <!-- JS: font size --> the JavaScript file "mootools.fontsize.js" is integrated as a plugin from the folder "template/lib/mootools/plugin-1.2/". Also, the framework MooTools V1.2x is automatically included.

<div id="fontsizer"></div> is the placeholder for output control like symbols or letters.

Now, we still lack the identification of the area in which the switch operates. In this example that is the container with id="content".

....
<div id="content">
....
....
</div>

Of course, the names and values are adjusted in the script, see "CUSTOM var ----...".

CSS:

The appearance of the three clickable symbols or e.g. letters is determined by CSS instructions.

The following CSS classes are implemented into any CSS file that is loaded on the side.

".top" should be a hypothetical container in which the selection is shown.

/* FONTSIZER ------------------------------- */
.top {
    font-size: 1.0em
}
.top a {
    cursor:pointer;
    text-decoration: none;
}
.top .smaller {
    font-size: 10px;
    padding-right: 3px;
}
.top .bigger, .top .larger {
    font-size: 18px;
    padding-left: 2px;
    font-weight: bold;
}
.top .normal {
    font-size: 14px;
    padding-left: 2px;
    padding-right: 3px;
}
