Hi, can this be implemented on a specific element (div) and its child nodes only? I don’t want to zoom everything. I only want the elements inside that div to zoom in and out. Thanks!

Just wanted to update this and let folks know that this doesn’t really work anymore in Chrome and Firefox 4. Also this doesn’t tell you the zoom level the page is on before the user loads the page. The most useful discussion on the topic I could find is at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1713771/how-to-detect-page-zoom-level-in-all-modern-browsers

[...] I wanted it to do, but it’s good enough for a release. Before I lose the ADD/ADHD folks:… [full post] Jared MLNTN javascriptjquery plugins 0 0 0 0 0 [...]

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).
