I’m loading an HTML page in an iframe and trying to set the font-size

  • 0

I’m loading an HTML page in an iframe and trying to set the font-size to 27pt to the body of iframes. but it does not apply that font to all the elements.

Below is the DIV and it’s CSS:

<div id="d10" class="fnt12 page2parttext">COLLECTION</div>

.fnt12 {
  font-size: 25px;
  font-family: MyriadPro-SemiExt;
  color: white;
}

And I’m applying this CSS to the body of the page:

font-size: 40pt !important;

Although in the developer tool, the font-size property for .fnt12 is strikthrough but the text size is still 25px in size. I tried to uncheck the checkbox against font-size: 25px in Chrome Inpector and it worked.

Whats the problem? Why it does not overwrite the existing CSS property?

    You can use

    * {
   font-size:25px;
}

    Setting it in the body won’t work, as font-size is usually no inheritable attribue*. (font-color and font-family are). But you can set your divs and other things to:

    div {
   font-size:inherit;
}

    then it will take the font-size from it’s direct parent.

    *bad wording, see here for more information: http://webdesign.about.com/od/advancedcss/a/aa073007.htm
