Help with Font size and cfincludes

[skydiver99]

Can anyone help... I am collaborating on a site that uses includes. (i am not
the include person, rather the designer). is the code below the reason why the
font size is HUGE on some browsers and not others? ie: in Safari it looks like
an 18pt size! Should be 10pt. <CFQUERY datasource='#application.datasource#'
name='getEvent'> select Calendar.* from Calendar where ((###tempDate### =
calendar.startdate) or (###tempDate### = calendar.enddate) or
((###tempdate### > calendar.startDate) and (###tempdate### <
calendar.enddate))) </CFQUERY> <p align='left'
class='style2' > <span style='{font-size: 0.1in;}'><CFOUTPUT>#temp#
#tempWeekday#</CFOUTPUT></span><BR> <span style='{font-size:
0.09in;}'> <CFOUTPUT query='getEvent'> <A
HREF='../cal/entrydetail.cfm?calendarID=#getEvent.calendarID#'> <font
color='#getEvent.groupcolor#'>#getEvent.title#</font></A><BR>
</CFOUTPUT> </span> </p> <CFSET tempday = tempday+1> </CFLOOP> </TD>

Yes, it is lines like this that are causing the problem

span style='{font-size: 0.1in;}

BTW you not really express font sizes in pt as these are different in size
between mac & pc.

Paul,
Thanks for your reply.
What unit (for font size) should i use then?
I know they will not always be exact, but I want a consistent look cross-browser and platform.
thanks,
mg

The most consistent look is achieved with pixels, but generally ems are
recommended in cases where accessibiliy issues could arise.
