Hi Pete,
"scale the font size as the window size increases?"
* If this means "automatically scale the font size as the screen
resolution changes",
then giving the font size in relative units will help (pure css).
See css-d Wiki page <http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FontSize>.
* If this really means "scale the font size as the window size
increases",
then probably the available horizontal window size is the intended
trigger (should be possible with javascript).
But: resizing the window (into not full screen), if the visitor
wants to see more things as the site window: then at once the font
size is changing without the visitor is beeing asked...
And: some visitors use a sidebar (for history or
favorites/bookmarks). If they enlarge the sidebar area ... then
the font size is getting smaller!
My conclusion: I should never do it the second way! :-)
Greetings,
francky
