Zoom in and out of a page?


Many programs including Edge, Firefox, Google Chrome and other internet browsers support zooming in and out of content!



When visiting websites on the Internet, text may be displayed in small sizes, which can impair readability. However, if the font size is not fixed, modern web browsers offer ways to quickly adjust the font size. Here are two commonly used methods!

3.) Why doesn't it work to enlarge or reduce the text on some pages?



There are several reasons why increasing or decreasing text may not work on some web pages:

1. Fixed font size:

Some websites set font size using fixed units such as pixels (px) instead of using relative units such as percent or em. In such cases, changing the font size through the browser functions may have no effect as the font size is static.

2. CSS properties:

The display of text can be controlled by CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). If the website sets certain CSS properties such as "user scalable" to "No", this may limit the ability to change the font size.

3. Scaling factors:

Sometimes web pages are displayed at a specific scaling or zoom level set by the user. In such cases, changing the font size may not produce the desired results because the page is already scaled.

4. JavaScript features:

Some websites use JavaScript to control user interaction, including resizing text. When JavaScript functions override the browser's default actions, this can result in text resizing not working as expected.

5. Browser support:

Not all browsers support dynamic font size changes on web pages equally. Certain features may not be available or may function differently in some browsers.

However, the reasons why increasing or decreasing text may not work on certain web pages can be varied and often depend on the way the website was developed and the technologies it uses.
