Here’s a plugin for detecting font-size changes that I published awhile ago. It doesn’t detect page zoom changes. It doesn’t rely on polling, like the ALA technique, but instead uses a mechanism developed by Hedger Wang:

This doesn’t on chrome either. It’s a pity there isn’t a way to do feature detection for this.

@rob: Like I mentioned in the article, I can only watch for keyboard and mouse shortcuts, using my method anyway. I hadn’t thought about the method that ALA suggests. I’ll have to check it out. Maybe less browser-specific code…

Another thing I was thinking about was, what if the text is resized using the menus as opposed to the keyboard?

This old(er) ALA article discusses a scenario of adding hidden element and testing it’s size … food for thought.

@rob: I’ll take a look at that tomorrow. You’re right, it’s probably just the Apple key vs. CTRL key and it’s probably just a matter of changing e.ctrlKey in line 5 to (e.ctrlKey || e.metaKey).

Hey, this is a great idea for a plugin, but the demo doesn’t appear to work for me using a Mac and Firefox 3.0.x … perhaps it’s because the command for the Mac is the “command” key, not the “control” key?
