font

Description

Sets or retrieves the separate font attributes (fontWeight, fontVariant, fontSize, and fontFamily) for text in the element.

Syntax

object.style.font[ = font]

Remarks

Setting this property also sets the component properties. In this case, the string must be a combination of valid values for the component properties, with no more than one value per property. If the string does not contain a value for a component property, that property remains unchanged.

Example

The following JScript example sets the font to a 12-point, serif typeface with a normal weight and with all letters in small capital letters. 

var sVar = document.all.MyParagraph;
sVar.style.font = "normal small-caps 12pt serif";
    .
    .
    .
alert(sVar.font.style);
