OOH and I noticed that when I got to view - text size then change the size of the font, It stays the same!! what html of java do they use to do this? i look at there html and couldn't find what text they were using and my eyes are tired and I not that good at looking at other peoples html so I was wondering if you guys can take a look for me :) http://www.ftw.net.nz Tim |

| 123075 | 2003-02-22 01:08:00 | Use CSS to define your font attributes. | wuppo (41) | ||
| 123076 | 2003-02-23 20:11:00 | Tim, As wuppo has said that site is using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) - you can read up on it here (www.westciv.com). To easily use CSS on certain bits of your site you can add the following attributes to your <font> tag. <font style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 9px;"> If you are going to use this all over your site it's probably easier to use an external .css file or style tag between the <head> tags and specify all your attributes in there - again it would be best to read up a bit on it first. Hope this helps :-) |

| 123077 | 2003-02-23 22:11:00 | Tim . The only way to GARENTEE that people see a font the way you want, is to make it a graphic . People only see the specified font if it is installed in their machine . For this reason i recomend that all titles etc be done as a graphic . Font families just tell the machine use font#1, but if you don't have it, then try font#2, etc etc etc . Even size specifications will change in how individual browsers etc handle it . Dyan was discusted seeing her web creations on my machines, simply because i don't have the fonts installed that she used, therefore it used system defaults . To the best of my knowledge, their is no foolproof way around this . . Clueless |
