The "3 As"

This applies only to Plone v2 sites; Plone 3 incorporates text size into its accessibility features.

• Images: textsize_small.gif, textsize_normal.gif, textsize_large.gif, and textsize_huge.gif
  • Located: [site]/portal_skins/plone_images
• Template: global_siteactions
  • Located: [site]/portal_skins/plone_templates
• CSS: ploneTextSmall.css, ploneTextLarge.css, and ploneTextHuge.css

  Note

  All of the CSS for each A is in its respective file

  • Located: [site]/portal_skins/plone_styles
• ECMA: setActiveStyleSheet(title, reset)
  • Located: [site]/portal_skins/plone_ecmascript/plone_javascript.js

  Note:

  It may be the case that this file cannot be edited through the ZMI and must be altered directly on the file system. This is because the content_type is "application/x-javascript" for JavaScript objects. In Zope, you cannot edit this type of content directly in the browser.
  A possible workaround would be to rename the file by appending a different extension (as in adding a .dtml to make the file name plone_javascript.js.dtml) so that you can make changes via the ZMI. However, it would be a good idea to revert to the proper name after making your changes, as we're not sure what leaving this object with a different file extension this might break.
  
  

Additional Information:

• To disable the display of the 3 As:

• Uncheck Visible for all the Actions with Category of site_actions
• Click Save at the bottom of the form.

Notes for Plone v3:

The AAA switch itself is no longer included in the default Plone v3 skin.  Controls for changing text size are made available in the site Accessibility control panel:
[site]/accessibility-info]

The JavaScript function for text size in Plone v3 is called:

setBaseFontSize();

Its acceptable arguments are:

(['largeText'|''|'smallText'],1)

... where '' denotes "normal size".
