font-variant | NN 6 IE 4 CSS 1 |
Inherited: Yes | |
Determines whether the element should be rendered in all uppercase letters in such a way that lowercase letters of the source code are rendered in smaller uppercase letters. If a font family contains a small caps variant, the browser should use it automatically. More likely, however, the browser calculates a smaller size for the uppercase letters that take the place of source code lowercase letters. In practice, Internet Explorer for Windows prior to Version 6 renders the entire source code content as uppercase letters of the same size as the parent element's font, regardless of the case of the source code. |
