Hi, when I design my site, I used font size "x-small" for body style (x-small is auto-completed by Dreamwaver 8). When I publish my site and I saw there is a difference between IE and FF.

So, font size "x-small" is a strange font with IE, is not it? And why is it accepted by FF but not by all of IE base browsers? It's funny?

It's not that it's a "strange" font, simply that browsers handle relative font sizes differently.

Better NOT to use those relative sizes at all anyway. Specify font sizes in percentages or em units. The browsers still have some minor differences but not nearly as much.
