Thumbs up Neat Trick

Thanks to today's "Times" for this one:. .. .If you have a wheel mouse, hold down Ctrl and roll the wheel. Text size increases and decreases.. .. .Neat, and new to me.

Good one, Mr Signal - hard to keep to "one click at a time" on my mouse though - hopeless! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Suppose we better tell everyone what happens with the "Shift" + Wheel,. .. ."Shift" + Push wheel forward, same as pressing "FORWARD" button in IE. .. ."Shift" + Push wheel backwards, same as pressing "Back" button in IE.. .. .One click of wheel mouse is one page (backwards or forwards), very easy to go back a long, long way if you've been on the net for a while.. .. .DT

Ah, one of the reasons I used some CSS on my website, I don't want someone to be able to resize with the wheel.

Here is a good one. If you use IE4/5/6 then you can type in a name on the address bar then press Ctrl/Alt and Enter together and this will add <a href="http://www." target="_blank">http://www.</a> &lt;name you just typed in&gt;com...
