fontSize
Description
Sets or retrieves the size of the font used for text in the element.
Syntax
object.style.fontSize[ = fontSize]
Remarks
The default value is medium. Negative values are not allowed. Font sizes are computed based on the font size of the parent element. Therefore, a font size of "10em" means that the size of the "em" is based on the font used by the parent element.
The values for font size are shown below:
absolute-size A set of keywords that indicate predefined font sizes. Possible keywords include [xx-small | x-small | small | medium | large | x-large | xx-large]. Named font sizes scale according to the user's font setting preferences. relative-size A set of keywords that are interpreted as relative to the font size of the parent element. Possible values include [ larger | smaller]. length An absolute value for the font size. percentage A percentage value of the parent element's font size. This property has read/write permission.
