How can I write a CSS that changes the font sizes used by IE 5.5 when the
user changes the View/Text Size menu setting?

I can use CSS to set a font to a particular point size, but I can't figure
out how to get the point size to change when the user chooses View/Text
Size/Smaller or View/Text Size/Larger.

Is there any way to use CSS or DHTML to respond to an event when a user
changes the text size in his browser?

Thanks,
Jonathan

If you specify font size for all element in absolute point size, the
View Text Size menu would has no effect. However, some clients cannot
read very large text (due to accessibility issue).

I think you should specify font size in relative manner. This gives
user freedom to select text size.
