fontsize(size)
[edit] Parameters
-
size - An integer between 1 and 7, a string representing a signed integer between 1 and 7.
[edit] Description
Use the fontsize method with the write or writeln methods to format and display a string in a document. In server-side JavaScript, use the write function to display the string.
When you specify size as an integer, you set the size of stringName to one of the 7 defined sizes. When you specify size as a string such as "-2", you adjust the font size of stringName relative to the size set in the BASEFONT tag.

[edit] Example: Using string methods to change the size of a string
The following example uses string methods to change the size of a string:
var worldString="Hello, world"
document.write(worldString.small())
document.write("<P>" + worldString.big())
document.write("<P>" + worldString.fontsize(7))
This example produces the same output as the following HTML:
<SMALL>Hello, world</SMALL> <P><BIG>Hello, world</BIG> <P><FONT SIZE="7">Hello, world</FONT>
