And zooming is the only way to increase the text size in any browser.
Internet Explorer has *two* options for increasing text size: Zoom and
changing Text Size
Only the first option (zoom) works in all versions of IE when this
appear in the CSS.
font: 16px helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
This freezes the font size at 16px. The text size is always medium (no
largest, larger, smaller or smallest).
Firefox has Page Zoom and Zoom Text Only

Firefox and Opera also have the option of setting a minimum font size.

I well aware how font-size works in various browsers. I shouldn't have
to select a minimum font size in FF, nor Opera, nor should I have to set
my universal access font size in Safari. It should just use my default
font size in each and every browser.
The reason that I think there is such a control over text size is due to
making sure that no menu items drop.
Resetting my screen resolution to 800px by 600px or 1280px by 720px
shows IE7 clipping part of the content which become hidden from view
unless I scroll down to the bottom of the page to access the inner
scroll bar. Do you understand that this is due to this.
body {overflow:scroll;}
This is not producing a visible scroll bar. What is does is creates and
inner overflow element within the root element (html in this instance).
It happens in all the other browsers but it does not necessary effect
them as it does with IE7 or IE6. To prove this, try this in perhaps FF.
html, body {
overflow:scroll; /* adds ghost scroll bar */
}
The method that should be used is this.
body {
overflow:scroll; /* delete */
}
html {
overflow:scroll; /* adds ghost scroll bar */
}
