Resize chosen fonts dynamically

Again, I can't take much credit for this. The real credit goes to the author of this blog entry http://www.pukkared.com/2010/10/resizing-text-with-jquery-and-window-resize/. I have just made a few changes and calls for my own purposes. Namely, passing which fonts I would like to resize, what the original size should be and what size the page should be before resizing begins. Enjoy!

See demo.

$.fn.resizeFonts = function(fontName, originalFontSize)
{
var originalWinWidth = $(window).width();
var ratioOfChange = 50;
$(fontName).css('font-size', originalFontSize);
$(window).resize(function()
{
var winWidth = $(window).width();
var widthDiff = winWidth - originalWinWidth;
if(widthDiff > 0)
{
var pixelsToIncrease = Math.round(widthDiff / ratioOfChange);
var newFontSize = originalFontSize + pixelsToIncrease;
$(fontName).css('font-size', newFontSize);
}
else
{
var pixelsToDecrease = Math.round(Math.abs(widthDiff) / ratioOfChange);
var newFontSize = originalFontSize - pixelsToDecrease;
$(fontName).css('font-size', newFontSize);
}
})
}
$(document).ready(function()
{
$(window).resize(function() {
if($(this).width() < 800)
{
$(this).resizeFonts('h1',20);
$(this).resizeFonts('p',10);
}
});
});
