font size in tables
Hi,
I am having the problem that the font size tag works only on text autside tables. whatever font size I set, text in tables is not affected, even when embedding the font size parameter in the table-, tr- or td- tag. so what can I do to change the font size in tables ? thanx, Helmut Helmut Blass |

There is a better way of dealing with apperance on websites. Forget <font> tags, use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The following section in your <head>..</head> will help you get started with solving your problem: <style type="text/css"> table { font-size: 100%; color: #ffffff; background-color: #222266; font-family: "Comic Sans", Arial, sans-serif; } </style> A good place to lose your CSS virginity is <http://www.westciv.com/>. -- Kris <> (nl) <http://www.cinnamon.nl/> |

Try this ... <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <center> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="80%"> <tr> <td width="25%" align="center"><font size="1">tiny</font></td> <td width="25%" align="center"><font size="2">a bit bigger</font></td> <td width="25%" align="center"><font size="3">bigger still</font></td> <td width="25%" align="center"><font size="4">large</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="25%" align="center"><font size="5">larger still</font></td> <td width="25%" align="center"><font size="6">and huge</font></td> <td width="25%" align="center"> </td> <td width="25%" align="center"> </td> </tr> </table> </center> </body> </html> |

Because none of them are remotely valid HTML. You have your answers elsewhere in this thread. Cheers Richard. |

Of course it won't. "font size=1" is not valid. http://www.goddamn.co.uk/tobyink/?page=150 http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/ http://tranchant.plus.com/web/html-start http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/ http://www.draac.com/ downloadable: http://hakatai.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/tut/download.html Sid |
