Why isn't my accessibility tool of enlarging text size working?

I'm adding an accessibility tool of users being able to increase the font-size of all the text on the page, and being able to go back to the default font-size if they wanted to. I have made a second CSS file which holds the css rules for the text to increase. However when I click on the icons I made for the text larger/text smaller it does not work. Can anybody understand why? Thanks for the help.

HTML code on the home page:

<div id="font-size-buttons">
   <a href="#" onclick="changeCSS('notaccessible.css', 2);"><img src="http://www.me14ch.leedsnewmedia.net/slate/images2/fontmin.png" width="25" height"25" alt="Switch to original text size and colours"></a>
  <a href="#" onclick="changeCSS('stylesheet.css', 2);"><img src="http://www.me14ch.leedsnewmedia.net/slate/images2/fontmax.png" width="30" height="30" alt="Switch to larger text and improved colour contrast"></a>
  </div>

Some of the default CSS stylesheet code:

.body {
height: 100%;
overflow: auto;
padding-bottom: 25px;
font-size: 0.75em;

}
/* accessibility */

#font-size-buttons {
    float: right;
    clear: both;
    margin-right: 5px;

}

And the CSS from the alternative stylesheet:

body {
    font-size: 1.5em;

}

And the linking stylesheet code at the top of my index.html page:

    <link href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="http://me14ch.leedsnewmedia.net/slate/notaccessible.css" rel=alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" title="access"/>

That's because changeCSS is not defined.

in onclick="...."> you execute a piece of Javascript, in your case a function called changeCSS with the variables 'notaccessible.css' and 2.

But nowhere in your code you have a function called changeCSS. So you either have to write that function, or change your html.

[edit]

made a little example fiddle
