Browsers text display differs

[smiffy47]

I am using the following code in a table in order to open a new browser window for site visitors to print off the content of a small ssi.

<td align="center" class="cellcolour"> <a href="javascript:;"><font size="2" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('../../ssi/o-z/outofhours.htm','','menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=500,height=200')">
Print this<br>
info</font></a></td>

As you can see I ask that the text "Print this info" to appear in font size "2" - and this it does in Netscape7 and Firefox, but fails to do in IE6, where the text reverts to 16px (as defined for link-text by a css elsewhere) How can I get IE to act on the <font size="2"> instruction as the other browsers do?
Thanks for your help

smiffy47, the font tag has been deprecated.

Since the tag is deprecated, you cannot expect consistent behavior across multiple platforms. Using the CSS style font-size you can tailor the text to work the same across multiple systems (and expect consistent results). Since your font tag is directly embedded inside your anchor, you should be able to apply a font-size style directly to the anchor to get it to work.
