On this website the user has the option of enlarging the font size so the pages are easier to read. I can see this being a good idea for non-computer savvy users.

How can I implement something similar with FWP?

If you want to show JavaScript or other code in the Web view, you have to “fence” it off with a row of four tildes above and below it. Or use Gist or Pastie.

<script type="text/javascript">
function resizeText(multiplier) {
if (document.body.style.fontSize == "") {
document.body.style.fontSize = "1.0em";
}
document.body.style.fontSize = parseFloat(document.body.style.fontSize) + (multiplier * 0.2) + "em";
}

Hi David,
that’s one I used to use in the past. I switched to the one I explained above simply because I can adjust the size of the steps. It’s a solid one though.

There is a problem with any of these and Freeway, though. If you set any sort of size to your body text (or other styles) the script will not override them. That’s because by default, Freeway sets those sizes in pixels rather than percent or em or another relative measure. Of course, you could go through all styles in the page programmatically and perform some arithmetic on them to adjust, but that is a lot of hassle to do well.

So how do you recommend we handle Freeway Pro websites for older folks who may have some level of visual impairment?

An Action could be written to convert all pixel sizes to percentages, although it could be very complex to do reliably. Another way to fix this from the design end would be to manually set the font dimensions to percentages in the Edit Style dialog. If you have a style that is currently set to 12px, change that to 12 ÷ 16 or 75%. You can’t enter percentages other than the pre-set options in the Edit Style size dialog, so you have to add these with the Extended dialog if your percentage doesn’t fall in the list of possible values (this one does). Once you have defined all of your font sizes in percentages, the scaling script will work perfectly. Another good idea is to build your layout from the beginning with reflow in mind. Either use an inline layout, or the RPL Action, and consider that using this script, photos will not scale along with the type. So you will have to allow text to flow around the images, which means using inline images rather than free-standing islands.
