CSS - Documentation For Font-size Using Slash

Hello,

I have something has follows:

<div>
...
<table>
...
</table>

</div>

My document font size is 1em.

My div font size is 1.4em.

What should be the font-size in my table to get back to the 1em of the document?

Thanks,
Miguel

hi, someone using foxfire keeps saying the my font is really really tiny, I have my css file like: Code:

body { background: #FFFFFF;
/* for internet explorer */
scrollbar-face-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-shadow-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #494969; scrollbar-arrow-color: #494969; scrollbar-track-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #494969; 
margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; border-top: 1px solid #8E9397; border-left: 1px solid #8E9397; font-color: #494969; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 8pt; text-align: left; }

a:link,a:active,a:visited { color: #494969; text-decoration: none }
a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #494969; position: relative; top: -1px; left: -1px; }
hr { background: transparent; color: #494969; height: 1px; border-width: 0px; }
fieldset { margin: 0; padding: 1px; border: 1px solid #494969; }
legend { margin: 0; padding: 7px; color: #494969; background: transparent; font-weight: bold; }
img { border: 0px; }
table { background: transparent; }
tr { background: transparent; }
td { background: transparent; color: #494969; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 70%; }
input, textarea, select { color: #494969; font: normal 11px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background: transparent; border: 1px solid #494969; border-style: inset; text-align: center; text-indent: 2px; }

Hi

I have applied this style to a drop down. However, the font size only appears at 10px in FF and not IE. Any ideas why?

<option style="font-family: Verdana;
background: #E0EAF8;
font-size: 10px;" value="link">link text</option>

What is the best way to make compatble text size between browser?

I have a div with a width of 300px, I pasted some text in it, it appears identical with firefox, chrome and safari (the letters are the exact same place), but when it comes to IE 8 (probably 6/7 too), the text is not displayed at the same place.

built a drop down using array...
i did it this way so if they omit another item in page, the county they selected will reappear..but how do i change the font size of the county names in the array....they appear in such small print???? had posted in php forum, but someone suggested posting here...

PHP Code:
<table width="100%">
                         <? if( ($msgcounty == "e") && (isset($_POST['submit'])) )  {?>
                            <tr>
                            <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#ff0000"><b>County:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</b></font>
                        <? } 
                          else 
                          { ?> 
                            <tr>
                            <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#000000"><b>County:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</b></font>
                            
                            <? }  ?>
<?    $county = array (1 => 'county',
'Adams County',
'Allen County',
'Wells County',
'White County',
'Whitley');

      foreach ($county as $key => $value)
          { 
if ($countyselecter==$value) {
$optionselected = "selected";
}else{ 
$optionselected = "";
}

$selectcnty.= "<option value=\"$value\" ".$optionselected."> $value</option>\n";}


?><select name="countyselecter"> 
       <? echo $selectcnty;  ?>     

       </select>

</td>
</tr>
</table> 

I need to shrink the fonts for the following classes on blogspot:
post-body
date-header

but for some reason it refuses to shrink below 100% or 1em

Even in firebug, adding properties to element.style, the font refuses to shrink below 100%. Even when i switch off all inherited values for font values it refuses. It does however grow to any size larger than 100%.

Other elements' fonts do shrink to any value, it is only these (and possibly others) that do not shrink.

blogspot in question is http://secretfarts.blogspot.com

Any ideas?

Hello all. THis is my first post here .
I use em to define font-size at my site.

At main css file...
body { font-size: 76%; }
tr, p, div, td, div { font-size: 1em; }

at secondary css file...
div#content_area .contentpaneopen {
font-size: 1.1em ;
line-height: 1.3em;
}

The problem is that the text (content_area) displays correctly on firefox and Opera and wrong on IE. I need em because i use a auto font resize javascript file.I am trying to find what is wrong for days...!

please check at this link...

I am sorry about the greek encoding
Thank you

Hello:

I'm building a website for a broad audience. I need there to be an option for text to be resized for those who have trouble with reading screens. I am trying to have the text on HTML pages be changeable through CSS.

Two examples I offer are

1. wired.com
2. 1and1.com

On the top right corner of the screen, there are options to change the text size without switching to a new HTML page. I believe this is done using CSS (perhaps Live StyleSheet Selector). I'm not really sure.

I would like for the user the have the option to change the font-size by clicking, not by repositioning the window (then the size changing relative to window size).


If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I've read several books such as Dan Cederholms, "Web standard solutions" and Eric Meyers on CSS, but I've yet to come across anything that delves into the specifics between declaring font-size attributes of px, %, em. I've always kind of used px for my sites, but I've seen some sites that use percentages and others that use em. What are the best uses for each one? How exactly does the % and em know what size to be?

FYI: I didn't mention 'pt' because I do in fact know the purpose of it for printing web documents.

Feel free to discuss or even post a great link that covers everything.

Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I am setting the font size for this tag in CSS and it is showing up in different sizes depending on the browser.

The font is bigger in FF than it is in IE7. My text fits in the desired area in IE7, but is way to big in FF.

I have to be doing something incorrect here. Does anyone notice anything?

Thanks,

Brad

HTML:
Code:

<p id="FillText">Click on an item under <strong>'Latest News'</strong> to read more about it here and get links to the full story...</p>

CSS:
Code:

#FillText {
font-size: 16px;
color: #ffffff;	
height: 280px;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-left: 90px;
padding-right: 15px;
/*padding: 30px 34px 20px 96px;  */
text-indent: 20px;
}

How can I randomize text size on a website? Like the ones done with the "tags" found on many wordpress blogs? Nothing too crazy, I just want to display words randomly and have some of the text bigger than others.
