CSS information

Remarks

Negative values are not allowed. Font sizes using the proportional "em" measure are based on the font size of the parent object.

As of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, when you use the !DOCTYPE declaration to specify standards-compliant mode, the default value for this property is medium, not small.

Possible length values specified in a relative measurement, using the height of the element's font (em) or the height of the letter "x" (ex), are supported in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and later.
