Just to understand font-size

[Pavlos1316]

Hello,

 

I now that if I write font-size: 10px; I will get 10px fonts in all monitor sizes.

 

Now... if I write font-size: 75%; I will get fonts 75% of what???

 

Thank you.

75% of the inherited font size. for example if you set:

 

body
{
font-size: 10px;
}

p#my_p
{
font-size:50%;
}

 

my_p will be 50% font size of the inherited which is the main body. so <p> tag given the id of my_p will effectivly be displayed as 5px.

Thanks again.
