4,356 PointsHow do I change the font-size of a string printed out by document.write in JavaScript?
var name = prompt('Name your character'); var adjective = prompt('Describe your character'); var verb = prompt('What is your character doing?'); var noun1 = prompt('What is he wielding?'); var noun2 = prompt('what is he wearing?');
var story = name + ' is ' + adjective + ' and loves ' + verb + ' with a ' + noun1 + ' in hand. His favorite ' + noun2 + ' says it all.';
document.write(story.fontSize(7));
When i run this the prompts run but the document.write command does not print anything.
however if i change the last line to this
document.write(story);
everything works fine and the story is printed back out.
Have i missed something about string methods or does it hae something to do with workspaces?

You'll soon learn how to create and interact with HTML elements, which can also by styled in a variety of ways including font size.
Just keep plugging!
