internet explorer - JQuery Text Resizing not working with IE -


i using following script (that requires cookies plugin jquery) allow javascript enabled users change font size on medical charity website:

var sitefunctions = {     textresize: function () {                 var $cookie_name = "textsize";         var originalfontsize = $("html").css("font-size");         // if exists load saved value, otherwise store         if ($.cookie($cookie_name)) {             var $getsize = $.cookie($cookie_name);             $("html").css({ fontsize: $getsize + ($getsize.indexof("px") != -1 ? "" : "px") }); // ie fix double "pxpx" error         } else {             $.cookie($cookie_name, originalfontsize);         }         // reset link         $(".reset").bind("click", function () {             $("html").css({ "font-size": originalfontsize });             $.cookie($cookie_name, originalfontsize);         });         // text "+" link         $(".increase").bind("click", function () {             var currentfontsize = $("html").css("font-size");             var currentfontsizenum = parsefloat(currentfontsize, 10);             var newfontsize = currentfontsizenum * 1.2;             if (newfontsize, 11) {                 $("html").css({ "font-size": newfontsize });                 $.cookie($cookie_name, newfontsize);             }             return false;         });         $(".decrease").bind("click", function () {             var currentfontsize = $("html").css("font-size");             var currentfontsizenum = parsefloat(currentfontsize, 10);             var newfontsize = currentfontsizenum / 1.2;             if (newfontsize, 11) {                 $("html").css({ "font-size": newfontsize });                 $.cookie($cookie_name, newfontsize);             }             return false;         });     } } 

you can call page so:

       $(document).ready(function () {             // show text resizing links             $(".accessibilitycontrols").show();             sitefunctions.textresize();         }) 

you can put links in page so:

<div class="accessibilitycontrols" style="display:none;">                     text size:<br />         <a class="increasefont" style="font-size: 14pt;" title="increase text size" href="#" rel="nofollow">a+</a> |          <a class="decreasefont" style="font-size: 11pt;" title="decrease text size" href="#" rel="nofollow">a-</a> |          <a class="resetfont" href="#" rel="nofollow">reset </a>     </div> 

so far, good. above presuposes have set font-size in style sheet html tag follows:

html { font-size: x-small; }

problem 1:

it works fine browsers except ie.

why?!

problem 2:

i fine debugging in firefox, ie problem! have tried attaching process vs debugger, seems work intermitently...

ok, quick , instructive.

  1. asking question half answer...

  2. ie not able interpret x-small numerical size, mozilla browsers do.

  3. as script using tries attach px font-size property, end with:

x-smallpx

whereupon jquery tells naff off.

changing to:

html { font-size:65%; }

solved issue. evaluated number ie , jquery happy.

i still confused visual studio , js debugging. there seem many ways skin cat , none work time.

having first encountered problem yesterday, relieved have solved , have found how debug in ie. double whammy.

the problem left have read somewhere desirable use x-small set font-size , make other sizes relative that. left feeling bit naked font-size:65% malarkey...

still, have work around accessiblity issues issue.
