message-box:
small-caption:
status-bar:


example


[code]

drop-downs
{
font-family:
"sans-serif";
color: red;
font-weight:
900;
font-size:

Is it the element i set or do i set the drop-downs to the property and give the dop-downs a value.

or can a user kindly give an example of all the above propertys/elements cheers.

these are values that the attibute font[system-font] can take - as far as I know it is only declareable using the shorthand for font liek so

font: icon normal normal bold .9em/1.6 Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font: system-font font-style font-variant font-weight font-size/line-height font-family

Thanks ToonMariner there no point for me then to use it as it is a shorthand function only but thank you.

The reason i say no point becouse i am currently designing a css tutoral for short/long sighted users cheers.
