Dumbo question

08-12-2004

Can someone please tell me why the following snippet isn't formatting the
text correctly? I know it must be something really simple, but I seem to
have a blind spot for it.

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>

<body
<P>
hi
</p>
</body>
</html>

TIA

It has a syntax error, which you could have found using a validator.

Besides, formatting some text to a fixed font size (in points) is
virtually never correct in HTML authoring. Check the
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets FAQ - it explains this.

Now please tell me what your question about Dumbo, the elephant baby,
was. I'm disappointed - the Subject line suggested that there might be
something about that lovely character, instead of boring old HTML.
