HTML queston-please dont move.

Please dont move this thread because hardly anyone reads the HTML forum.



How do I change the font settings in a table? I have the font settings to size=+2 and also bold, but It only affects the text not in the table. However the text in the table is the font style I set it to. How come I can change the font stlye but not the size or bold it?

You can either use style sheets to define the styles that you want to set within your Table definions,
for example in your CSS include the following definitions:

PHP Code:

TD {
    FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 11px; COLOR: #365361; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: none
} 


Or you can define the style you want to use within your TABLE tag; for example:

PHP Code:

<table style="color: Black;">

Heres what I did:

PHP Code:

<table style="border: 0; size: +2;"> 


But the size still isnt "+2" and Im not going to mess with CSS because Im just learning it, right now Ive only done the margins in CSS.

And how do I bold it?

Post your code in PHP tags. It messes up the page if you do straight out html.

a) There is no CSS definition for "size" the correct definion is font-size
b) There is no font-size attribute as +2; font-size can be defined either in "relative values" like xx-large, x-large, large, medium, small, x-small, xx-smaller or as absolute values like 12px or 14px; or you may use percentages as 200%
example:

PHP Code:

style="border: 0; font-size: 18px;"
style="border: 0; font-size: x-large;"
style="border: 0; font-size: 50%;" 


c) To bold a text, you can use the font-weight attribute, anywhere from bolder, bold, normal, lighter or as numbers 100, 200, 300... 900
