Hi,

I haved used CSS before with no problems, but for whatever reason I seem to be having issues this time. With the font and font size. I am utterly baffled, but then again I may very well have no idea what I am doing...

Here is my code:

<!--
A:link { text-decoration: none ; color:#DD76D6 }
A:visited { text-decoration: none ; color:#A836A4 }
A:hover { text-decoration: line-through; color: #F94DF3 }

body

{font-family: verdana;
color: #413D3D ;
font-size: 12px;

scrollbar-face-color : #EEC6ED;
scrollbar-highlight-color : #F9D9F8;
scrollbar-3dlight-color : #EFA3EC;
scrollbar-shadow-color : #C185BF;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color : #C185BF;
scrollbar-track-color : #EEC6ED;
scrollbar-arrow-color : #EB8BE8}

-->

Though I have tried to request Verdana at 12 px, I seem to be getting Arial (I think) at a larger size. Everything else seems to be working okay.

Is there anyway I can fix this?

Thanks,

It's working fine for me..... :\

Thanks for the affirmation. I have used CSS similarly before, and it worked fine.

After a little messing around, I managed to fix the font, but the font size is still virtually unchangable. No matter what size I put in, the text always appears in the same size.

And yet, if I used the font size tags in the body I can get the right size.

Perhaps it is my computer that is dead?

How are you using it?

Are you using an External CSSheet? or Inputing into each html page?

Your internet settings could be the problem with that. If you have Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Internet Options... > Accessibility. Uncheck all three of those boxes if they are checked.

Unfortunately, I am still stuck. My Internet settings are okay, and I have tried both imputting into the page as well as an external CSSheet. No luck. :(

My theory is that it has something to do with the tables I am using. When I use my CSS on a page without tables, it works perfectly. With tables, the font size is hideously wrong. What I don't understand is why. ;)

Anyone have any ideas? Could it be the location of the CSS? As far as I know it can only go under the HEAD tags...

TIA

tables are silly little things - for some reason, css doesn't like them unless you tell it that they're there! Try this:

body, td

{font-family: verdana;
color: #413D3D ;
font-size: 12px;
(etc etc)

the td will tell the stuff to go in table cells as well. That should fix it. :)

My hero!

All that agony for a two-letter fix. ;) Horrah, it works!

Thank you!

hehe HTML is funny like that. You're welcome :D

Oh, I was having the same trouble awhile back and I finally gave up on my tables layout, just because of that! Thanks lefty, that's hefty.
