Jim's comments: When I change the text sixe in IE - I see NO CHANGE!.

christosptr commented 10 years ago

Hello Chris,

The general requirement is for people with mild vision impairments must have the ability to resize Web content without the assistance of magnification technology. Typically, the user can change this setting in a browser. However, if a Web content user has an older version of a browser that does not support a zoom function, you have to ensure that text containers resize when the text resizes and use measurements that are relative to other measurements in the content by using one or more of the following, Use percent for font sizes Use named font sizes Use em units for font sizes OR
Provide controls on the Web page that allow users to incrementally change the size of all text on the page up to 200 percent.

Hope this helps.

Warm regards,

Charu Pandhi

Have we determined what IE we have to support?

christosptr commented 10 years ago

yes

From charu's reply it was not obvious but I got that we have to support all versions. what I did understand is that wecan provide an alternative of the Ctr+"plus button" to increase fonts for IE versions (i think it can be done with css)

This alternative can be an option on the top of the page to click on links to increase decrease or revert the font to its original size. See screen shot below
