Remarks

When a length is provided, its value is added to the inter-character spacing value specified by the IHTMLCSSStyleDeclaration::letterSpacing property.

If a length is provided without a unit identifier (for example, an unqualified number such as 128), Internet Explorer processes the length as a width value.
