relative sizing of button text

[a_nonymous8]

Hello all, I'm trying to get the text (and the button) to resize when a user
selects a new font size in the "View...Tex t Size...[5 choices]" menu in
MSIE. I have a style sheet specifying:

button.blue {
background-color: #4682b4;
font: 20px;
}

and a form element:

<input type="button" class="blue" value="submit">

When rendered, the button looks fine at 'medium' font setting but it doesn't
change when the MSIE font menu described above is used. The static test on
the page changes but not the button. I've tried all the font settings I can
find in the style but nothing works. Is there a way to make a button and
it's text change in accordance with the MSIE5.5+ (and necessarily
Netscape6+) font menu settings? Yes, the reply email works but I will be
checking back here too. Thanks a bunch in advance.

button.blue {
background-color: #4682b4;
font-size: 100%;
}

Use a percentage instead of pixels. IE is broken and will not allow the
visitor to resize anything you set in pixels.

(You should set a foreground color as well.)
