Hi all,

Sorry to place this here, but i’m not sure where else to put it, its a bit of a strange question. I suppose this could actually be done in javascript though!!??!!

Basically, i want to develop a new element to my website for accessability.

Basically i want to have a “click here to enlarge site” button, and upon clicking this button, a “magnifying glass” type opject will appear and give the user to mouse over any element to the site and zoom into parts of the site.

Dont know if this is at all possible/feasable. Anyone know where i would start for somthing like this?

Thanks

@KorNov 22.2007 — In theory probably it would be possible, but that would be a huge waste of speed/memory to do it via javascript.

The modern browsers (Firefox, IE7 - with CTRL+mousewheel on Win) have already implemented this kind of "magnifier", I guess you don't need to do anything more...

Just make sure that the text size is big enough that it is legible, and that you use em for font-sizes.
