I've made a program that allows a user to write text on a "white board" and change color in real time. I'm now trying to give the user the ability to change font-size as well. How could I combine the "writing_size" variable with the characters "px" to form a value for "font-size"?

<span> Writing size: <input type = "text" size = "7" ng-model="writing_size"></span>
<br>
<br>
<div id = "whiteboard" ng-bind="writing" ng-style="{ color : marker_color, font-size: {{writing_size + 'px'}} }">
</div>
<div id = "test">
{{ writing_size + "px"}}
</div>

First problem: the font-size
key must not be used without apostrophes, becuase it is not a valid JS Object key. You need to write e.g. ng-style="{'font-size': '12px'}"
.
Secondly, ng-style
attribute is being evaluated as JS, so you can't use the double curly braces syntax, because it is not a valid JS. Just write like you would inside JS: ng-style="{'font-size': writing_size + 'px'}"
.
Your working example:
