Question though - how can I limit the number of times someone can increase/decrease or set max/min font sizes? Thanks!

Like I would use it in a but want it to also change another on the same page and it won't work... That sucks or maybe there is specific way to use it that I don't know. Second, there are no cookies so the font size chosen won't cary all throughout a site. I have 2 issues that you can only change the font size for one instance on the page..

Yes, these changes will not apply to newly visited pages. This is because all this is javascript , happening on the browser. Once you navigate away from page, you lose the current state of browser. hi Tony,

Reason for not manipulating this through external css is that it is very painful(browser issues). There is no inbuilt function to do so. Hence you have to manipulae things. Suggest you look at this article at quirksmode http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/getstyles.html . This explains why we avoid using external css for simple tasks like the one mentioned in post above. hi Joe,
