A URL would be helpful.

Font sizes are relative to the size of their parent element, so the
following two paragraphs have different font sizes, even though they
both have a font-size of 'smaller.'

<div style="font-size: 2em;">
<p style="font-size: smaller;">Hello</p>
</div>

<div style="font-size: 1.5em;">
<p style="font-size: smaller;">Hello</p>
</div>
