CSS - Header. Font Size And Line Height
Hello,
I created the following header: http://www.27lamps.com/Beta/Typography/Typography.html Where Font Size is the same as Line Height: 2.0em. Shouldn't the border be next to the text? Thanks, Miguel Similar TutorialsHi there, I'm completely new to CSS. I'm trying to do this more than one hour but can't get it right. Code: <font color='white'><font size='1' face=verdana size=1> I couldn't find the equivalent of this in CSS This is my last experiment but it doesn't seem to work either Code: fontstyle { color : #FFFFFF; font-family : verdana ; font-size :1;} Thanks So when using Netscape 7.2 & Opera 7.5 and MSIE 6.0, How do you get a simple tag like body { font-size:small; } to be equal in all browsers? Setting IE Text Size to Medium, and Opera's Zoom to 100% (both defaults) and Netscape 7.2 to 120% (not the default) is one way, but is there a CSS way? By the way, the child element hack "body>div {property}" wasn't working no matter what I tried, by not working I mean to say Netscape never would read it or apply it. It appeared to be that Opera & IE need to read the same value while Netscape needs to apply a larger size to be equal to IE's and Opera's rendering. B Hi all, I am trying to automate everything on my test website and I have one more angle to cover. In effect, I want to adjust the line-height property (which I can do) based on the number of files within a specific folder (PHP and already done). The more files in the folder, the lower the line-height value must be. This is to ensure if I copy additional files into the folder, then the navigation menu (which is PHP reading files in this particular folder) will alter the CSS line-height property accordingly to ensure it can never exceed a certain height. Sounds wierd? go to www.re3.org.uk (next to the RE3 image, I have a list of hyperlinks which are obtained from files within the folder) My problem, when adjusting the CSS property (which is set as cm in *.css file) in javascript, it doesn't correspond correctly, the line-height property in javascript doesn't appear to be work in cm but some other measurement. Does anyone know how to change what unit of measurement Javascript works in? Or does anyone know what unit of measurement javascript uses when adjusting line-height / line-width values? I want to create a mini-algorithm that works out the appropriate line-height based on the image height (got that already) and the number of files in the folder (got that too) so the menu automatically adjusts to fit. Whew! Greetings, I have a class called "header" and I am trying to give it a touch of extra space between it and the next line. All of my headers are just a few words and thus on one line. I tried placing "line-height: 1.5em" in my "header" class and it shows up correctly in Dreamweaver but not in IE. My thought is, because it is only a single line, that class value does not kick in because there is no second line for that class. Is there a way to conrol this in CSS or am I going to have to resort to using a....gulp.....spacer? Thanks in advance! I've got two lines of text. Want the spacing the two lines to increase, so I set a line-height. When I do this, not only does it increase space between the two lines, it also increases spacing above the first line (and maybe below the second). How can I increase spacing between the two lines only, without increasing above and below? Thanks! hi, someone using foxfire keeps saying the my font is really really tiny, I have my css file like:
Code: body { background: #FFFFFF; /* for internet explorer */ scrollbar-face-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-shadow-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #494969; scrollbar-arrow-color: #494969; scrollbar-track-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #494969; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; border-top: 1px solid #8E9397; border-left: 1px solid #8E9397; font-color: #494969; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 8pt; text-align: left; } a:link,a:active,a:visited { color: #494969; text-decoration: none } a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #494969; position: relative; top: -1px; left: -1px; } hr { background: transparent; color: #494969; height: 1px; border-width: 0px; } fieldset { margin: 0; padding: 1px; border: 1px solid #494969; } legend { margin: 0; padding: 7px; color: #494969; background: transparent; font-weight: bold; } img { border: 0px; } table { background: transparent; } tr { background: transparent; } td { background: transparent; color: #494969; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 70%; } input, textarea, select { color: #494969; font: normal 11px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background: transparent; border: 1px solid #494969; border-style: inset; text-align: center; text-indent: 2px; } form { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } any idea on whats wrong? and I would of changed the % to an actual value but I wanted to make it so people can control the size of the font to lager or smaller here is a preview with that css file in use : http://www.dbznetwork.net/ People viewing my site at 120 dpi are seeing misaligned text and layout, whereas people viewing the site at 96dpi can see it properly. I'm using "em" instead of pixels when setting font sizes in CSS. The site has fixed length and width, do I HAVE to allow it to resize itself? Whats the best way to fix font size? I use CSS. The font size seems to stay fix on IE but not on Mozilla and Netscape. Also I notice when I use adgui font it stay fix no matter in what browser and no matter at what text view. Why is that. Are there more of this kinda fonts? Bottom line, whats the best way to fix the size of fonts regardless of browser and at what text view. Thanks for you help Liz Hello, I have something has follows: <div> ... <table> ... </table> </div> My document font size is 1em. My div font size is 1.4em. What should be the font-size in my table to get back to the 1em of the document? Thanks, Miguel Well, the title might be a little oversimplified, but I guess it caught your attention In the past, I always set my font sizes using px. I know that this is not the appropriate standard (since it doesn't allow a user to re-size the font on their end), but I usually did it because it was easiest and most predictable. Now, I finally want to make the step towards more accessibility and I would like to learn a little bit more about using em's appropriately. Does anyone have any good advise on how to get started with the following questions: How/where do I set the initial font-size, from which I can use em's? What are the dangers of using em's instead of px? Where could this change impact my usual styling? Are there any good resources/tutorials about this? Any help/suggestions/ideas are appreciated... Hi I'm using a css file for the layout of my website. But I'd like to define the default font size but I can't! I mean the size of the font that's under no special style. I think it's something like: Code: .body { font-size: 10px; } Or similar (instead of 10px, small)... anybody knows exactly hoy can I do it? Hi I have applied this style to a drop down. However, the font size only appears at 10px in FF and not IE. Any ideas why? <option style="font-family: Verdana; background: #E0EAF8; font-size: 10px;" value="link">link text</option> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> <!-- div.print { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 2pt; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: normal; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: #FF3300; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; } div.regular{ font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: larger; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color:#006600; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; text-decoration: underline; } --> </style> <script language="JavaScript"> function printerFriendly() { document.getElementById('div1').className = 'print'; } </script> </head> <body> <p><a href="javascriptrinterFriendly()">click here to change font</a></p> <div id="div1" class="regular"> <table id="tab1" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1"> <tr> <td>bla</td> <td>kla</td> <td>sal</td> <td>kdef</td> </tr> <tr> <td>iuwhdfqower</td> <td>ouresgopu</td> <td>uihwdrfpu</td> <td>uiwrhgfpuieroi</td> </tr> <tr> <td>oiiudefpuiwerv</td> <td>iufdgpiuwqerpoi</td> <td>iuergpuergipou</td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> <p class="print"> </p> </div> </body> </html> why is the font size not changing nor the color?? only the font changes when th link is clicked?? I have a style.css file included on all pages i want to sent default font and size, for all the text where i haven't already set something I've read several books such as Dan Cederholms, "Web standard solutions" and Eric Meyers on CSS, but I've yet to come across anything that delves into the specifics between declaring font-size attributes of px, %, em . I've always kind of used px for my sites, but I've seen some sites that use percentages and others that use em. What are the best uses for each one? How exactly does the % and em know what size to be? FYI: I didn't mention 'pt' because I do in fact know the purpose of it for printing web documents. Feel free to discuss or even post a great link that covers everything. Thanks! How can I randomize text size on a website? Like the ones done with the "tags" found on many wordpress blogs? Nothing too crazy, I just want to display words randomly and have some of the text bigger than others.

I need to shrink the fonts for the following classes on blogspot: post-body date-header but for some reason it refuses to shrink below 100% or 1em Even in firebug, adding properties to element.style, the font refuses to shrink below 100%. Even when i switch off all inherited values for font values it refuses. It does however grow to any size larger than 100%. Other elements' fonts do shrink to any value, it is only these (and possibly others) that do not shrink. blogspot in question is http://secretfarts.blogspot.com Any ideas? |
