datepicker size

datepicker size


Hi all. New to jQuery!
I've got a datepicker up and running on a test page and everything
works great. The only problem I am having is adjusting the size of
the datepicker. If I run the demo of the datepicker that is included
in the dev bundle, the datepicker shows up at a reasonable size. If I
run the datepicker on my test page, it is HUGE! So I dug into the css
and found the one tag that seems to make the difference. The body tag
on the test page is getting a font-size: 62.5%; So I put that in my
test page and now the datepicker is back to a reasonable size. So
then I started thinking, lets put this font-size adjustment in a div
tag or something and put it around the input box that the datapicker
triggers off. This DOES NOT WORK.
I don't want to adjust the size of the body, or else I will have to
majorly rework all of my existing css. Why can't I put a div tag
around my input tag and adjust the font-size through inheritance just
like it is obviously doing with the body tag?
