Converting Font-Size To Pixels

Ram
Hey,
I've got the following code:
<font font-size="7">Hello</font>

How can I calculate the font-size int the actual size in pixels?

Thanks ahead!

that code is insanely bad. you can't do it.

you should be setting font sizes, and everything else related to display,
via CSS instead of in tags themselves.

Hey,
I know this is bad, but it's not my code - long story short - I cant
change this html...
isn't there a way of doing that?

Thanks again

you could probably get the "font-size" of the font, but you would not be
able to get the size in pixels.

I think here is a typo. The font element has no attribute "font-size".
Correct is "size":
<font size="7">Hello</font>

You can try next approach.
Create in runtime a font element, set it font size to known value in
pixels and compare this element with the font element which size you
want to define. Increase the size in series and at some point of time
you will get required value.
Short example:

<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkSize()
{
var fonts = document.getEle mentsByTagName( "font");
var checkedElem = fonts[0];
var height = checkedElem.off setHeight;
for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
var tempFont = document.create Element("font") ;
tempFont.style. fontSize = i + "px";
tempFont.innerH TML = checkedElem.inn erHTML;

document.body.a ppendChild(temp Font);
var tempHeight = tempFont.offset Height;
document.body.r emoveChild(temp Font);

if (tempHeight >= height)
{
alert("Font size = " + i + "px");
break;
}
}
}
</script>
<body onload="checkSi ze()">
<font size="7">Hello</font>
</body>
</html>

You would have to know the visitor's monitor resolution to know how
many pixels relate to point size.

I do? Don't answer that, you probably wouldn't quote it and end up
confusing anybody trying to follow the conversation. Besides, monitor
resolution is trivial.

You have already shown your inability to read and comprehend what you
read so I won't expect you to understand what I am about to explain to
you. I only post it in the hopes that someone else reads it and doesn't
fall into your position.

Just because *you* can't do it doesn't mean it can't be done, it means
you can't do it. Yet you said you would have to know something that is
trivial to determine and in the end it is irrelevant.

Who said I can't do "it"? What is "it" that I can't do? WTF are you
talking about Randy.
