Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / February 2006font: menu?
In reviewing an off-the-shelf Web-browser-based application, I found the following font setting in several places among the default CSS files: font: menu; I can't imagine the designers thought that anyone would have a font called "menu" on their computers, and "menu" isn't one of the standard font-family values like serif or monotype. Is this somewhere else in the standard, or do any of you know a platform that defines an extension like this? [snip] > font: menu; [snip] > Is this somewhere else in the standard [...]? The following values refer to system fonts: caption The font used for captioned controls (e.g., buttons, drop-downs, etc.). icon The font used to label icons. menu The font used in menus (e.g., dropdown menus and menu lists). message-box The font used in dialog boxes. small-caption The font used for labeling small controls. status-bar The font used in window status bars. System fonts may only be set as a whole; that is, the font family, size, weight, style, etc. are all set at the same time. -- 15.2.5 Shorthand font property: the 'font' property[1], CSS 2 Specification Mike [1] <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#font-shorthand>  SignatureMichael Winter Prefix subject with [News] before replying by e-mail. > [snip] > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > The following values refer to system fonts: [...] > -- 15.2.5 Shorthand font property: the 'font' property[1], > CSS 2 Specification Oh, for some reason it didn't occur to me to look elsewhere than under font-family, because I thought I already knew all the components of the "font" shorthand property. Thanks. |
