String.prototype.big()

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

Syntax

str.big()

Return value

A string containing a <big> HTML element.

Description

The big() method embeds a string in a <big> tag: "<big>str</big>".

Examples

Using big()

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)); // <fontsize=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 = '2em';
