How to set default font size to small for a page's body?
I've tried <body style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:0.8em;"> or <body style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:11pct;"> or <body style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:80%;"> to no avail. In IE7 it shows up as Medium. What did I do wrong? Thanks. |

Setting the font size in the document doesn't change the IE *setting*, it changes the sizes of the fonts *relative* to that setting (assuming you're using relative units like % or em). Anyway, why are you trying to set the primary font of your page to a size that's smaller than the user finds convenient to read? |

Would like to get key points of WHAT, For WHOM, WHY and HOW across on one screen (about 80% of a full screen) without scrolling. |

If 100% is too large for your own taste, decrease your own browser's default size. But leave it adequate for me. I expect your post was just a test. Normally you would move the styling to your CSS style sheet. -- -bts -Friends don't let friends drive Vista |

You will have no idea what your visitor's screen size will be. They could be using one of the iPhones! Also screen size != browser window size, not *everyone* runs a browser maximized. I rarely do. Time to rethink your design. -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com |

Please consider the following factors: a) the majority of my users are likely not knowing how to set font size with their browser and I don't intend to provide instruction on that (once again, they are not you, not tech savvy); b) the 'small' font size looks good (not the default 100% size) for the home page (feedback from beta users). Thanks. |
