        // switch css style sheets with javascript (changing font size)

//this part goes within the head tags
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="standard.css" title="standard" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="medium.css" title="medium" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="large.css" title="large" />

<script src="fontsize.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script>

//this part goes where you want the links that the user will click on to show up (the script part should probably be on one line with no breaks
