Could anyone tell me why my browser is showing my menu as verdana and then my home as arial? I have my site set as frames. I will post the CSS here for my menu page and my home page:
<html>
<head>
<title>Vicary Biznis</title>

<style type="text/css">
<!--
a:link {
text-decoration:none;
color:#A59550;
font-family: verdana;
}
a:hover {
text-decoration:none;
color:#B54441;
font-weight:bold;
font-family: verdana;
}
a:active {
text-decoration:none;
color:#2B81B7;
font-family: verdana;
}
a:visited {
text-decoration:none;
color:#B54441;
font-family: verdana;
}
body {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
text-align:center;
margin:10px, 0px 0px 15px;
}
-->
</style>
</head>

<body>
<div style="font-size: 20pt; color: #000000; font-family: verdana, arial, lucida sans: letter-spacing:-.5em:">Vicary Biznis</div></br>

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks.

Not trying to break any rules here, I just don't understand what it going on and need help on this one!
Thanks.

Try changing this:
<div style="font-size: 20pt; color: #000000; font-family: verdana, arial, lucida sans: letter-spacing:-.5em:">
to:
<div style="font-size: 20pt; color: #000000; font-family: verdana, arial, lucida sans; letter-spacing:-.5em;">

And here...
margin:10px, 0px 0px 15px;
I don't think that comma should be there after '10px'

I changed that info you gave me, but it still doesn't work.

Maybe I should have worded my post as such:

This is only the first part of my home.html page (previous html code post). Can you tell me why my menu.html side of my index.html page would be showing my code differently? My menu.html shows my links and all info correctly, but when viewing in IE6, my browser shows my home.html links as verdana font and then the rest of my text as times new roman. All of my text is supposed to be verdana.

I could send you my files to view if you'd like, or just post them here.
Thanks.

TY all!
I forgot to include a font family in my CSS for the body.
Dah! I searched and searched...guess 'hands-on' is the best way to learn.
