In some ways CSS is a step backwards on this issue from the old HTML FONT tag. With <FONT ...> you display in the USER'S defined font size and increase/decrease the display via the SIZE parm. With CSS you can get the same result via use of EM or % sizes but using PT (or other measures that ignore the user's default font size) causes the user's settings to be overridden and ignored. -- Bob Rosenberg RockMUG Webmaster webmas...@rockmug.org www.RockMUG.org ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
