The obsolete
HTMLFontElement.size
property is a
DOMString
that reflects the size
HTML
attribute. It contains either an integer number in the range of 1-7 or a relative
value to increase/decrease the value of the size
attribute of the <basefont>
element.
The format of the string must follow one of the following HTML microsyntaxes:
Microsyntax | Description | Examples |
---|---|---|
Valid size number string | integer number in the range of 1-7 | 6 |
Relative size string | +x or -x, where x is the number relative to the value of the
size attribute of the
<basefont> element(the result should be in the same range of 1-7) |
+2 |
Syntax
sizeString = fontObj.size;
fontObj.size = sizeString;
Examples
// Assumes there is <font id="f"> element in the HTML
var f = document.getElementById("f");
f.size = "6";
Specifications
The <font> tag is not supported in HTML5 and as a result neither is
<font>.size
.
