Come on in, the water's fine! CSS is vital these days, and I promise you'll love it.
To answer your question (maybe), you can use many units to specify font-size: pt, px, em, small, smaller etc. (But not all of them resize properly to meet accessibility requirements). At a quick glance, I can't see anything wrong with your style, IE7 is a LOT better than IE6. So what are you applying that style to? <span>? <div>? <p>? and what is it's scope? I generally apply a font style to * at the start of my css, (<body> isn't bad either, there's a couple of inheritence issues that the * overcomes) then overwite that default further down as required. -----Original Message----- From: Don L [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 11:40 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: default font size for a page Never paid too much attention to CSS, now it seems to bite me. Is it possible to set a default font size to, say, 85%? so that, all the key ideas can be viewed on one screen without scrolling (suppose we know users' screen size)? Also, the majority of the user community is not supposed to know how to set font size with their browser. My attempt of using style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS',Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:.85em;" or similar approach does not seem to have desired effect with IE7.
