object.style.zoom = magnification;

where magnification can be one of the following:

normal	Default. Normal size. No zoom in or zoom out.
scale	Floating point number that specifies the factor to apply. 1.0 is normal.
percentage	Floating point number followed by a percent sign. 100% is normal.

You can apply this property to any object. For example, we made the paragraph you are reading now larger by a factor of 1.27. You need to identifiy the paragraph by an ID attribute, and then assign its zoom property in a JavaScript script. The paragraph looks like this:

<P ID="demo">You can apply...like this:</P>

and the JavaScript script looks like this:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

demo.style.zoom = "127%";

// -->
</SCRIPT>
