fontWeight
Description
Sets or retrieves the weight (boldness) of the text.
Syntax
object.style.fontWeight[ = fontWeight]
Remarks
The key words for fontWeight values are mapped to specific font variations depending on the fonts that are installed on the user's computer. In many cases, the user will not see the difference between different font-weight settings because the system will choose the closest match, which may be the same as the font-weight setting that was previously set on the element.
Setting the font-weight to 400 is equivalent to normal. Setting the font-weight to 700 is equivalent to bold. A font-weight of bolder or lighter is interpreted relative to the parent element's weight. A value of bolder for text whose parent is normal would set the text to bold.
This property has read/write permission.
