To date, I am yet to see a reliable way of detecting the user's resolution. You
also cannot detect the user's text size setting (in the browser) or the system's
dpi. That said, I do think that having a link that users can click to set their
preferred size can be kind of neat. IMHO, it should generally not be needed,
since the site design should tolerate any scale selected on the individual
user's machine.
