Access browser's page zoom controls with javascript

Question

I want to assign the browser\'s (IE/FF) page zoom controls (Menu: View/Zoom/Zoom In_Zoom Out) to two large \"(+)(-)\" icons on the web page

Answer 1

Can't be done at all as far as I know. As has been discussed elsewhere on SO, it is possible to detect the browser's zoom level using a number of tricks. There's no way to set them from plain JavaScript.

Maybe in a Firefox extension.
