Netscape 4 and early versions of IE do not support these properties correctly. They will work (in the most part) correctly in Netscape 6 or IE 5.To avoid the problem do not specify font sizes at all. If this is unacceptable to you, you should exclude the font size declarations by means of an @import statement:STYLE SHEET: @import url(nameoffile.css);Allof the font size declarations go in the imported style sheet. This will remove the problems, but will mean that the older browsers do not get font size declarations.If youmustspecify fonts in these browsers, you can use pixels, but before doing so please read the note below.
