[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.

[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>
