Can't get execCommand and 'fontsize' to work with pt or px

[shepherd]

Hi,
I'm trying to dynamically edit selected text using execCommand and fontsize as the passed command. [i.e. execCommand(fontsize,'',4) ]. The problem is that this works fine for relative browser sizes, but I need it to work for absolute sizes as well - either points or pixels. I've scoured the internet trying to find documentation on this, but it seems that it may not be possible. Does anybody have insight into this?

thanks!

I don't think this is possible, as the the font size specified:

must be a value between 1 and 7, inclusive

Which pretty much means no arbitrary size, but just relative sizes 1-7.

The answers you get are only as good as the information you give!

I agree. The whole reason for specifying a unit size is so it won't change. If you want it to change, you'll have to specify a different size for each occurrence that the size is specified or inherited. Or else use a variable unit size like a percent or the keywords "larger" or "smaller".
