But it works unreliably. Besides it only overrides user defined style
sheets, not general browser functions such as text size. So in this
particular case it doesn't help.
Are YOU sure?
If you are that dumm, using font-size commands, why is that you complain about display relativity than?
If you are not. It is absolutely IMPOSIBLE to resize Authors textsize with Wiew:Text Size: Largest/Larger/Medium/Smaller/Smallest
Use <H1 style="font:Bold italic 22pt arial">TROJANI2000</H1>
and try to resize it!

WRONG again!
Try testing a little more, rather than just reading things.

Exactly the other way around. Giving a site a font size in points will make
the text OK in one browser (IE on Win) and unreadable in another (NN on
Mac).

See http://www.alistapart.com/stories/fear4/ for more info.

??? First of all, you cannot declare what CSS you use, you just give
commands and hope the browsers understand it. If you give CSS2 commands and
the browser doesn't understand them, nothing happens.

wrong again!
Use:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Style-Type" CONTENT="text/css1">

and try using css2 commands.
same with <script language=VBScript>
try using Java Script inside
</script>

You don't need  help
you need to show off. Well, F-off
and no-thanks!


Secondly, really CSS2 supporting browsers are still very rare. The only ones
to qualify are Netscape 6, Opera 5 and Konqueror (and IE5 Mac, up to a
point). IE5 Win does not support enough CSS2 to make it a really compatible
browser.

See http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/css2tests/ for the tests and the outcome.
