It's possible. I've just made a demo for you using the CSS property Zoom and JS. http://waynebowie.x10.mx/js/Zoom Hopefully this is what you wanted to do.

i dont know if that would work properly, or it might, but the reason why i asked is becuz i want to use the x and y buttons on a 3ds in the internet browser. your thing might work but the last time i tried changing zoom levels on a 3ds i think there was a font size error.

Well if you're trying to use the X and Y buttons then that's not possible. You only get the D-Pad and the A button. Also that was an example of what I thought you were trying to do but tell me what you're really trying to do. You could message me or something if you want to.

you can get all 4 buttons if you want to. i did it before. when the 3ds zooms in, i think it was the innerWidth/height, and when it changes you just need to check if it increase or decreased from last time to tell if the x or y button was pressed. but last time i tried, zooming was annoying to adjust perfectly. and the b button is easy. give something focus, then when it looses focus make B_Button = 1; then give that div back focus(). to give a div focus btw, you use tabindex = '0'. but that by itself would make the touch screen activate B too, but i think there was a way around that anyway (i dont remember). if you havent seen it you can try this on your 3ds and the B button is used to jump and A is to shoot.

Ok native support.. Most people won't be able to use that or they don't want a box around something. But again if you need to use the X and Y buttons then whatever you're doing is too complicated XD I can see a use for the B button but just getting the x and y buttons to work would be useless since they are used mainly for zoom. I have a question, What are you trying to do exactly?

im just making a few 3ds browser games and thats it. the control pad and 1 or 2 buttons isnt good enough for certain games.

You would have so many restrictions with using the X and Y buttons anyways. It's not like it can zoom in or out forever and you have to use the X before the Y and vice versa

not really. its more conveinent for something like minecraft:

[mine] [place] [attack] [run]

Y would go right, X would go left. this would toggle what the A button does. of course theres the touch screen, but i dont like using the top screen becuz it has Up Key scrolling problems, and i like a full clean screen so i wouldnt want any buttons on the bottom.

I can see it working in that example but just trying to zoom out and zoom in the page while the 3DS does would take forever and it would never be perfect unless you worked on it for a while.

is there a easy way to get the current Y position the 3ds browser is scrolled down too? im too lazy to check for anything.

Try window.pageYOffset or document.body.scrollTop

Try window.pageYOffset or document.body.scrollTop

Never heard of "window.pageYOffset"

Does anyone know the exact font the 3ds browser's font is default to? I figured, if I'm going to have a website focusing on the 3ds browser, I might as well have the same font for any other browser.

Seeing as the 3DS browser uses page zoom instead of a selection of font sizes, I imagine it to be just standard 12pt. Slight variance with other mobile browsers would be due to screen resolution.

Catch my drift.

Not the font size, the font. The font cannot be changed on a 3ds, the textareas or inputs aren't even monospaced on a 3ds browser, it's always 1 font that cannot be changed. But I don't know which one it is.

By the eye test, I would guess Arial or something very close.

Catch my drift.

Some random updates to this that you probably already knew.

1. It is possible to register the coordinates by somehow using a layer of fake links over the canvas. It registers the coordinates instantly when you select a link. It was done on http://painitegames.com I think.

2. The font is a proprietary font used all around the 3DS interface. Icon fonts do not work and sometimes results in icons of 3DS buttons that are stored in the font.

3. The New 3DS browser is significantly more powerful and supports videos and larger pages. Way better for browsing.
