This is where we will create a simple interface for our application. This code will only display text and slider button. To create this simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.html.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
	<head>
		<meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
		<style>
			input[type=range]{
				writing-mode: bt-lr; /* IE */
				-webkit-appearance: slider-vertical; /* WebKit */
				width: 50px;
				height: 200px;
				padding: 0 24px;
				outline: none;
				background:transparent;
			}
		</style>
	</head>
<body>
	<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
		<div class="container-fluid">
			<a class="navbar-brand" href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
		</div>
	</nav>
	<div class="col-md-3"></div>
	<div class="col-md-6 well" style="overflow:hidden;">
		<h3 class="text-primary">How to Adjust Font Size Dynamically in JavaScript</h3>
		<hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
		<div class="col-md-2">
			<input type="range" min="0" max="72" value="12" oninput="adjustFontSize(this.value);"/>
			<div class="form-inline">
				<label>Value</label>
				<input type="text" size="1" id="display" class="form-control" disabled="disabled" />
			</div>
		</div>
		<div class="col-md-8">
			<center><label id="result">I Love Sourcecodester</label></center>
		</div>
	</div>
<script src="script.js"></script>	
</body>	
</html>

Creating JavaScript Function

This is where the main function of the application is. This code will dynamically adjust the font size. To do this just copy and write these block of codes inside the text editor and save it as script.js.

document.getElementById("display").value="12px";
document.getElementById("result").style.fontSize=val+"px";
 
function adjustFontSize(val){
	document.getElementById("display").value=val+"px";
	document.getElementById("result").style.fontSize=val+"px";	
}

The code above is very simple and straightforward, to resize the font size we will only need one method called adjustFontSize(). This function will adjust the font size dynamically by tweaking the slider. The trick for this code is that we just simply append the font size value for every time the slider been moved.
