The small() method creates a <small> HTML element that causes a string to be displayed in a small font.
Syntax
str.small()
Description
The small() method embeds a string in a <small> tag: "<small>str</small>".
Examples
Using small()
The following example uses string methods to change the size of a string:
var worldString = 'Hello, world'; console.log(worldString.small()); // <small>Hello, world</small> console.log(worldString.big()); // <big>Hello, world</big> console.log(worldString.fontsize(7)); // <font size="7">Hello, world</fontsize>
With the element.style object you can get the element's style attribute and manipulate it more generically, for example:
document.getElementById('yourElemId').style.fontSize = '0.7em';
