Using standard web languages such as HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, specially configured elements are included in a web page to enhance the sizing (and/or resizing) behavior of the page as it is displayed by a browser, particularly the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser and others made with the same underlying technology. These elements enable the creator of the page to transparently augment the sizing action of the browser, first, by using the browser's inherent sizing action to register the user's selection in the browser's Text Size menu and, second, by temporarily suspending that same inherent action pending script-driven modifications to the size-related settings of the page. In so doing, many of the restrictions ordinarily imposed by the browser may be overcome, such as the inability to size and resize, in reference to the user's selection in the browser's Text Size menu, a web page having contents set in pixels.
