>Hi,

You can "hard code" the font size via a CSS or style entry. Eg. style="font-size: 9px;". However, I'd suggest you NOT do this for accessibility reasons. There are a lot of people who can't read smaller fonts and by hardcoding them you are basically making your site inaccessible to them. Some browsers still let you override these settings, but in Internet Explorer (which is by far the most popular), it isn't quite as easy (you have to manually configure the browser instead of just holding down CTRL and using the mouse wheel like you can when using relative sizing). I know I >really< hate it when a site hardcodes their fonts - and I have no problems seeing. I tend to run at 1600x1200, but a lot of sites seem to think a 6 point font is still readable at that resolution and they've gone so far as to take the control away from me to "fix" it. OK, enough ranting < g >
