Hi,
I have one set of <font> tags that I don't know how to get rid of with
the style sheet, and I was wondering if you might be able to help
please?

Here's the style sheet stuff that's relevent......

div.home{
position:absolute;
left:490px;
top:175px;
width:230px;
height:252px;
z-index:5;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
}

........As you can see, the style sheet is responsible for the
postioning of the layer, which contains text. Here's the text.........

<div class="home"><font color="#FFFF00">Maximise I.T.</font> is a
Multimedia Information Technology entity that delivers and brokers
services across the IT spectrum. Our prime philosophy is based on
constant consultation with all involved in any given project and to
work together as a team with clients to deliver an outcome that
reflects the desired outcome to the Max</div>

You can see that I want the words "Maximise I.T." to be yellow. The
rest of the text is the default black colour. How can I make those
words yellow in the style sheet, without disturbing the layer so that
I can get rid of the <font> tags????

Thanks for looking
Neil

Looks like a job for span.
Add span.yellow {color: #ffff00; background: "whatever your background
is";} to the stylesheet.

Change <font color="#FFFF00">Maximise I.T.</font> to <span
class="yellow">Maximise I.T.</span> and you should be in business.

<div class="home"><span>Maximise I.T.</span>...

and in the stylesheet:

div.home span {color:yellow}

you can also use 'strong' or 'em' elements instead of 'span'.
