Text size?

Allowing browser to change the text size?

[ahmedtheking]

Is it possible to define the text size in CSS but still allow browsers to change it?

[benihana]

yes. use % or em as the unit.

[ahmedtheking]

ok, is there a kind of table that compares the sizes of fonts? like pixel = however much ems ...?

It will depend on the browser, version, and platform. You can see Owen Briggs' experiments on IE 5/6, Opera 5/6, and NS 6/Moz 1 at

Hmmm, it looks like '80%' is the way to go... Thanks!
