Story Toolbar

[bairdt]

By chance is there a javascript that runs just like the story toolbar that can be used on a website? Where you can see this great toolbar is at:

I like how it functions and have never seen anything quite like it. Any suggestions?

here's a rudimentary version:

<script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
function storyText(cmd) {
	var div = document.getElementById(&quot;story&quot;);
	var fontSize = parseInt(div.style.fontSize, 10);
	var min = 8;
	var max = 20;

	if (isNaN(fontSize)) fontSize = 14;
	else fontSize += cmd;

	if (fontSize < min) fontSize = min;
	if (fontSize > max) fontSize = max;

	div.style.fontSize = fontSize + &quot;px&quot;;
}
</script>

<div id=&quot;toolbar&quot;>
	<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;-&quot; onclick=&quot;storyText(-1);&quot; />
	<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;+&quot; onclick=&quot;storyText(1);&quot; />
</div>
<div id=&quot;story&quot;>
	story text blah blah blah 
	story text blah blah blah 
	story text blah blah blah 
	story text blah blah blah 
	story text blah blah blah 
	story text blah blah blah 
	story text blah blah blah 
	story text blah blah blah 
	story text blah blah blah 
	story text blah blah blah 
	story text blah blah blah 
	story text blah blah blah 
</div>
