FontWeight

Description:

The weight (degree of text "boldness") for text that appears in menu items.

Value:

String, "", or JavaScript expression that returns a string/"".

Applies To:

Menu Items.

Browser Compatibility:

FontWeight is supported in all browsers, though not all browsers may recognize all possible CSS values (especially Netscape 4.x).

Comments:

FontWeight should be applied as a string, which means the value you supply should always be in quotes. Allowed values for FontWeight are the same as those allowed in the standard CSS font-weight property (see the W3C Specs) and in fact, the value you supply is transferred as is to the JavaScript fontWeight property for each menu item.

Examples:

// Ok:
FontWeight:"bold",
FontWeight:"900",
FontWeight:"",              // use style sheet default
FontWeight:(HM_IE)?"900":"700", // 900 in IE; else 700

// Incorrect:
FontWeight:"fat",  // must be valid identifier
FontWeight:800,    // quotes required
FontWeight:'(HM_IE)?"900":"700"', // no quoted expressions here

Default:

"normal"
