How can I get javascript to determine a browsers font setting and alter it to whatever I choose so that my site is cross-browser/font size compatible

ha mo, Colin Fraser, Evan Heller,
Different browsers use their setups differently and mostly what you are
trying to do may cause the browser, therefore the user a problem. I am
not sure that too many people will like the idea of a web page changing
their browser's settings.
I suspect your best bet would be to check their screen resolutions.
As far as I am aware, all browsers support the screen object and this
means the property values of width and height are available. This
implies you can change those values or redirect the browser to a page
you have prepared for a specific resolution.
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function screenres(){
if (window.screen.width=='600') {
location.href = '600.html'; }
else {
if (window.screen.width=='800')
location.href = '800.html';
else if (window.screen.width=='1024')
location.href = '1024.html';
else if (window.screen.width>'1024')
location.href = 'other.html';
}
}
//--></script>
</head>
<body onload="screenRes()">
This may be somewhat clumsy and there probably are better ways to handle
this problem, but it should work with considerably less aggravation than
trying to reset a user's browser.
