Title: Javascript menu
Topic: Javascript

Although a bit old fashioned, a drop down menu javascript can be a handy tool. Most of these cost some money, but some are free. One that I found recently that seems to be both robust and free is at http://www.webdevtips.com/dropmenu/index.html. It's well documented and seems pretty easy to use right off the bat.

Title: Increase/decrease font
Topic: Javascript

I don't know why I never noticed this script before. It is located at dynamicdrive. It will increase or decrease the screen font and change the back ground color at the user's request. Very useful technique for acommodating different reader's needs. Totally cool.

//Specify affected tags. Add or remove from list:
var tgs = new Array( 'div', 'table', 'td','tr', 'font', 'font face' );

//Specify spectrum of different font sizes:
var szs = new Array( 'xx-small','x-small','small','medium','large','x-large','xx-large' );
var startSz = 2;

function ts( trgt,inc ) {
if (!document.getElementById) return
var d = document,cEl = null,sz = startSz,i,j,cTags;

sz += inc;
if ( sz < 0 ) sz = 0;
if ( sz > 6 ) sz = 6;
startSz = sz;

if ( !( cEl = d.getElementById( trgt ) ) ) cEl = d.getElementsByTagName( trgt )[ 0 ];

cEl.style.fontSize = szs[ sz ];

for ( i = 0 ; i < tgs.length ; i++ ) {
cTags = cEl.getElementsByTagName( tgs[ i ] );
for ( j = 0 ; j < cTags.length ; j++ ) cTags[ j ].style.fontSize = szs[ sz ];
}
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<a href="javascript:ts('body',1)">bigger font</a><br>
<a href="javascript:ts('body',2)">bigger still</a><br>
<a href="javascript:ts('body',-1)">smaller</a><br>
<a href=#null onClick="document.bgColor='lightseagreen'"><img src=seagreen.gif WIDTH="15" HEIGHT="15" VSPACE="2" HSPACE="2" ALT="Light seagreen background" BORDER="1"></a></center>
