What is the best size setting to use in CSS that will be resized by Internet
Explorer? I want a size that is about the same as <FONT size="2"> in HTML.
I've been using "font-size: x-small;" in CSS and this is fine in Internet
Explorer 6 and Opera 6, but in Netscape 6.2 the text is really small.

Anyone have any suggestions for a more suitable CSS font size that resizes
and closely matches font size 2?

Thanks.
Stephen

x-small is meant to be completely equivelent to "2"

Hi Rowland, it doesn't seem to actually say it is equivalent to font size 2
in the link you included.
Can you give any further info?
Thanks,
Stephen

Try using a percentage such as font-size: 80%. This scales the font size to
80% of whatever the user has selected to be their preferred font size (from
the View/Text Size in Internet Explorer for instance).

In Netscape 6 x-small is not equivalent to "2" however.
