Where I show "Sample Item Name", how do I show this item as a smaller font
size?
I tried styling the list, no change.
I tried a span across the name, no change.

what can I do to get what I want?

Is w3schools closed today? (oh, it *is* Sunday, innit?)

<li><span style='font-size: 50%'<a href="#">SAMPLE ITEM
NAME</a></span></li>

Your solution does not work.
Take a look again. Same results.

ok I'll begin


<style type="text/css">
.smallertext{ font-size: 60%; }
</style>

<a class="smallertext" href="#">SAMPLE ITEM NAME</a>This seems too simple,
there is no doubt a better way. You probably need to style each level of
list items if you want to improve the style. you're going to say never mind
I fixed it myself now? )

I appreciate your efforts in trying to mislead "richard" by throwing subtly
invalid code ("subtly" in a relative sense) at him, but as a whole, Usenet
would be a little better place if we all just ignored him.

In addition to feeding the troll, efforts like the above may unintentionally
mislead novices, who might take your advice seriously. And this is not nice,
since in addition to introducing a subtle (or "subtle") markup error, you
have maintained the base code as such in all its cluelessness, with
pointless use of <span>, broken-by-design link, and SHOUTING.

Yeah, I forgot the closing > when I typed the post...

Remove the quote marks from your CSS.
span { font-size:"50%";}
to
span { font-size:50%;}

Your file: jquery.treeview.css is missing.

I'm guessing you didn't validate your CSS. If you had, you would have seen
this:

Value Error : font-size "50%" is not a font-size value : "50%" "50%"

Back off, Evan, you're the one looking like a jerk right now. How on earth can
you call him "ungrateful" in response to a post that BEGINS by expressing
gratitude for the assistance he received? If you can't find anything better to
say, just STFU.

So? Maybe those other posts had dropped off of his newsserver by the time
he replied. At least he replied, and said "thank you".

Depends on which posts you're talking about. I didn't give him the answer, at
least not the complete answer. I think what I told him qualifies as a "clue".

Yes, it is. Richard may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but your
ongoing vendetta serves mostly to make you look bad, not him.
