The following code works in firefox. But IE displays the hyperlink at
font-size=13 rather than font-size=10. Why? If its a known IE bug, how
should I fix it? I always want the hyperlinks to take the size of the
next parent element's class.
thanks for the help,

Replace * by body. Then every font in your page will be size 13px,
unless it is in an html element for which defined another font size, eg
your footer. That's why they call it "cascading" style sheets. sr*******@gmail .com schreef:

There's two things wrong with the cited snippet of CSS: the
specification in px units, and the use of Verdana alongside other
fonts. http://k75s.home.att.net/fontsize.html addresses both issues (although
I have to disable my browser's minimum font size before I get to see
the effect which it's trying to demonstrate). http://cfaj.freeshell.org/testing/ve...elvetica.shtml is a fine
comparison of two fonts at size 1em - or it would be for someone who
had Helvetica (mine is falling back to the browser's configured
default, which rather spoils the effect), but doesn't address the
(mis)use of px units at all.
sbpoley has shown how these demonstrations can be made safer by adding
monospace as the fallback font in the CSS, after the one that's
actually desired, and telling the reader that if they see monospace,
it means they haven't got the desired font.
Interesting bit of greeking, by the way.

Oops, didn't know. I always figured it was because the elements in the
html inherit their style from their parent's style, except if it is
overruled. But after doing some research on the net, I see that you are
absolutely right!
I always go with the stylesheet of the author. I've never in my life
changed the style of a website I visit to my own or the browsers one.
And because a lot of the websites on the net don't seperate their
markup from style correctly (eg tables for layouting) I don't think
there's a lot of advantage in doing so. Except maybe for people who
can't read small fonts very well and want to set the font to a larger
one or change foreground and background color to very contrasting ones.
But even then, a lot of the websites on the internet use fixed font
sizes (like the example above) so it won't work anyway. The idea is
great, but in reality it doesn't always work because people can put
online as crappy html as they whish. But of course, it is good to
advise website authors not to do this, so maybe one day, most of the
websites get it right. Although I don't believe that will ever happen.

Do you think I should add a note to mention that? (Ok, I did.) http://cfaj.freeshell.org/testing/ve...elvetica.shtml is a fine

No Helvetica here either.

Changed the styles from * to body and it worked. Thanks.
Interesting comments on Verdana by so many people.
But most of the sites used Verdana, thats the reason why I went that
route... Will have to rethink my strategy now I guess...
Google: Arial, 20px
Amazon.com: verdana,arial,h elvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium,
small etc
W3Schools: verdana,helveti ca,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 100%
Slashdot: verdana; arial, san-serif;
Cricinfo: Arial, Helvetica, san-serif; font-sizes; 11px, 12px, 13px
CNN: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif font-sizes: 10px, 12px
thanks again guys... you have been very helpful...

You must be looking at a different page; there is no "px" anywhere
on it.
Using Verdana alongside another font is the whole point of the
exercise. http://k75s.home.att.net/fontsize.html addresses both issues (although
I have to disable my browser's minimum font size before I get to see
the effect which it's trying to demonstrate).

I wasn't addressing the use of px units; I don't use them. I was
pointing out that there is nothing wrong with using Verdana.
sbpoley has shown how these demonstrations can be made safer by adding
monospace as the fallback font in the CSS, after the one that's

it means they haven't got the desired font.
Good idea -- for demonstrations.
