Dear everyone,
Its my understanding that IE6 now uses a default text-size of "Small"
rather than IE5's "Medium".
Since I have used relative font-sizes (usually in ems) on all my
sites, I am now getting reports of "your fonts are too tiny" from
various users. Of course, the sites still look fine if those users set
their text-size to medium, but face it -- most people don't even know
thats an option.
I was willing to sacrifice the users control and specify a base font
size in the body tag (something like 14px), and then convert the rest
of the styles to a percentage. However, I control most of my
formatting by using tables, and have discovered that the font-size
attribute in the body tag doesn't carry into text within tables.
So, is there any way for me to set the default text size to medium?
Or do I need to use Javascript to detect the browser and then load the
appropriate style sheet? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
