Scale factor on WebView

Question

Hi,
Does webview provide any way for zooming in and zooming out (make html5 webpage appear to be bigger or smaller)? The closest thing i found is webview.setScaleX, webview.setScaleY but it doesn't seem to work. What i tried both way of setting the scale before or after loading the document and it does seem to matter. The webpage doesn't load at all after the setScale*.
Thanks for the great work btw.

You issue may be platform specific - a simple test case on JavaFX 2.0GA, WindowsXP SP3 with a Radeon 4650 worked fine for me.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.web.WebView;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class WebViewScaler extends Application {
  public static void main(String[] args) { Application.launch(args); }
  @Override public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    WebView root = new WebView();
    root.setScaleX(2); root.setScaleY(2);
    root.getEngine().load("http://jqueryui.com/");
    primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 1000, 800));
    primaryStage.show();
}
