window.getCompu tedStyle() is no good in MSIE. Is there a way to determine
the pixel size of the default (or user-specified) font for BODY in IE?
Thanks,

objRef.currentS tyle.<property>
gives you the equivalent. However, why do you need to know the font size?
Just use em units where 1em equals the height of the font.

Given the font size in pixels it is possible to emulate the max-width
property in ems in MSIE 5-6. That's what I want to do. It's possible to
emulate max-width for the general case of 96 pixels/inch display and 12pt
default font size ( www.svendtofte.com/code/max_width_in_ie/), but I was
hoping to do better. Maybe the numerical value could be separated from the
units in the fontSize property, multiplied by max-width in ems, then
appended with original units as the max-width property, but since it's
possible font-size might be "medium" or "90%" or "larger" on a user's
stylesheet, that won't work in all cases.

Check the IE7 Extension at
<http://dean.edwards.na me/IE7/compatibility/>, it provides max-width.

Looks like a truly incredible accomplishment. Jeez, if all this
functionality can be done with script, why couldn't hotshot MS programmers
have given MS consumers access to it via CSS?
Thanks much for the link.

I've been setting font-size 1em; as the default in my style

wonder.
My aim is to have an easily readable, but not overly large text when
the user uses the default font size in his browser and uses the
typical display resolution.
I did a reinstall of my friendly browser in a different environment,
and I am surprised to find that its default for serif is Times 16 and

Hello,
I just joined this group and saw the discussion "What do you think of
resizing 1em to 10px?" I am somewhat confused by what y'all think should be
used as a reference size.
I was surprised that someone actually suggested ems as a reference. Ems
are relative to a selected point size, the width in points of a capital M.
If no point size is given, what size does an em become? The browser
obviously must decide.
Also setting the body...

As I understand it, most browser manufacturers have agreed on 16px for their
default font size.
So, this should be an accurate conversion for percentages:
px %
16 = 100
14 = 87.5
13 = 81.25

Strange question this, but could somebody tell me what the old size=1,

Hi all,
I'm building some style sheets and trying to play the old game of
balancing designer pixel perfection and still allowing users to adjust
their font sizes. The compromise I've made with the designer is that
he'll accept allowing users to change font sizes it it "looks right"
with the default setting.
I'm using em to set the font size. So, anyway, here's the problem. At
0.96em we get the perfect font size. But, if the font is...

1. Determine the dimensions of the rectangle.
2. Set a my font size to a fixed maximum size.
3. Apply the font my string and measure the string using the graphics
object.
4. If string size is less than the size of the rectangle, we are done.

Sorry if the question is a bit basic.
I generally express my font sizes in pixels, originally to handle the
Macintosh/Windows font size differences (though I believe that they both
now treat points the same way, at least within the browser window).
It has been suggested that one should use ems to allow browsers to
increase or decrease the text size. However, I have never had trouble
with pixels.
