[Javascript] RE: Font size control bar

[BConner at huntsvilletx.gov (Barry Conner)]

P.S. For Clarification: The popup window is a frames window.  The control bar is displayed in one of the frames just below the header frame.

Subject: Font size control bar


I've created the following little view control bar which I designed to display in a frames navigation window for my HTML-based application interface.  The frame is generated as a popup to exclude all of the undesirable toolbar & status bar overhead.
 
The actual font manipulation here is handled via a set of JS & CSS files (as posted at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/relafont )
 
HERES THE QUESTION:  This is intended as a mere view control bar, so how might I script the fontsize controls to act on the main frame rather than on itself???
 
Thanks for any thoughts you might have on a solution!
 
Barry
