>>>>>I knew about the fact that if the font size was specified, the ctrl+wheel made no difference in IE6. From what I can tell though, ever since upgrading to IE7, ctrl+wheel broke the font sizing for all fonts when displaying HTML in the browser control! It simply does nothing. I wish someone else can confirm what I'm seeing.

The strange thing here that Ctrl+Wheel works fine in IE7 itself, just not from VFP. We need to test from VBScript to see, if VFP somehow breakes it. BTW, I tested in VFP8, since I don't have VFP9 here yet :(
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
