Hi,

As you know, everyone can change there font size when veiwing sites via internet explorer > file > font.

Is there anyway that we can control our font size depending on what the users default browser font size is at? For example, if the user had set there default browser font size to "larger", then we could set our HTML font size to 1 rather than 2.

I guess it would be some thing like:

IF (user-default-setting) = 'larger' THEN
set css style = 10

Not sure if this is possible, or what the correct variables would be.

Has anyone experienced or used this before?

Not in all situations, they can't [useit.com].

As a user first, I hope not. Seriously, use EM's and allow the users browser to figure it out and spend more time worrying about giving them quality content to read. Quality content will trump all designs, except unreadable fonts and over blow design.
