HTMLFontElement.size

The HTMLFontElement.size property is a DOMString that reflects the size HTML attribute, containing 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 -1

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 .
