FONT SIZE=+/- is pretty bizarre and completely unrepresentable in CSS. For example: <FONT SIZE=-1><FONT SIZE=-1>Sample text 1</FONT></FONT> <SMALL><SMALL>Sample text 2</SMALL></SMALL> Sample text 2 will be smaller because SMALL is cumulative, and FONT SIZE=-1 is not. And yes, FONT SIZE=+/- is treated relative to the containing BASEFONT SIZE= tag. There is an implicit BASEFONT SIZE=3 somewhere near the top of the document tree. Blame HTML 3.2. Tantek
