font size in tables

Helmut Blass · Feb 24, 2004

Hi,
I am having the problem that the font size tag works only on
text autside tables. whatever font size I set, text in
tables is not affected, even when embedding the font size
parameter in the table-, tr- or td- tag.
so what can I do to change the font size in tables ?

thanx, Helmut

There is a better way of dealing with apperance on websites. Forget
<font> tags, use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

The following section in your <head>..</head> will help you get started
with solving your problem:

<style type="text/css">
table {
font-size: 100%;
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #222266;
font-family: "Comic Sans", Arial, sans-serif;
}
</style>

A good place to lose your CSS virginity is <http://www.westciv.com/>.

Try this ...

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="80%">
<tr>
<td width="25%" align="center"><font size="1">tiny</font></td>
<td width="25%" align="center"><font size="2">a bit
bigger</font></td>
<td width="25%" align="center"><font size="3">bigger
still</font></td>
<td width="25%" align="center"><font size="4">large</font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="25%" align="center"><font size="5">larger
still</font></td>
<td width="25%" align="center"><font size="6">and huge</font></td>
<td width="25%" align="center"> </td>
<td width="25%" align="center"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</body>
</html>

It should work inside the <td>.

<table border="1" font size=1>

<tr font size=1>

<td font size=1>

none of them works.

<tr font size=1>

<td font size=1>

none of them works.

Because none of them are remotely valid HTML.

You have your answers elsewhere in this thread.

Cheers

Of course it won't. "font size=1" is not valid.
