String.prototype.small()

The small() method creates a <small> HTML element that causes a string to be displayed in a small font.

Syntax

str.small()

Return value

A string containing a <small> HTML element.

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';
