Hold control and move the ouse wheel if you have one. If not, go to View > Text Size > Increase (If using Firefox) or View > Text Size > and make it larger (if using IE). I can't tell you for Opera or netscape, but it's similar

Do you have a mouse with a mousewheel?

You probably pressed the Ctrl key and moved your mousewheel at the same time.

That works in other programs like word.
RE: FORMS TINY!!! by Eljay on 03-29-2005 at 10:58 AM

or you might have pressed Ctrl + "-"

RE: FORMS TINY!!! by fluffy_lobster on 03-29-2005 at 12:45 PM

Or you might have pressed Alt + V + X + A in short succession.  It all does the same thing and isn't really relevant as any method will set it back equally well 8-)

This isn't a "feature" per se. This is simply how HTML works; It is the whole essence of HTML.

Despite what many people think, HTML is _not_ a language where you can depend on the size of the elements used, including text sizes. Sizes are relative to the recievers screen, not absolute like many think they are...

HTML is not a fixed size markup language, but a dynamic size markup language. The person who creates a HTML page has no control in how the page will look at the receiver's end. Because of this you can not know if text will look "small" or "big" on the recievers end. Sizes are relative in HTML.

eg: <font size="4"> simply means a slithly bigger font then <font size="3">. It doesn't mean a font size with a fixed size of 4 because not everybody's screen will display size 4 the same...

And that is why every browser has such a "feature" to size up/down the text being displayed. And that is why you shouldn't use fixed fontsizes, absolute positions, etc. on webpages either (this is a VERY common mistake to make).
