CSS - Changing Text Size On Html Page Using Css

i have this in my style.css file

BODY {
color: #003366;
background-color: #CBD5E2;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;




}



A {
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: underline;
}

A:HOVER {
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
}


when i change the color: #003366;
it reflects on the site
but when change the "font-size: 12px;" to another size
the text remains the same... ?

i tried including with both
<style type="text/css" title="currentStyle">
@import "../style.css";
</style>

and
<link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="../style.css">

no difference....

p.s. the path ../style.css is correct

Hi ,

I am trying to print my html page in the landscape mode.I should print this

automatically in landscape mode with css orientation landscape.

i am using the below code to print all tables in my html page in landscape

mode

@page rotated { size : landscape }
table { page : rotated }


Its not working .

Is this write or wrong?
Is there any other way to do it.

Thanks,

Alright, this is probably a simple fix but I can not find the solution anywhere. I'm trying to highlight a table cell with a 2px solid red border when it is clicked.

Is there a way to get this to happen with out changing the size of the cell?

I hope this makes sense. Basically the cell is expanding by 1 px causing movement in the table.

I've been using a 3 column fluid layout and so far so good - works in all browsers and resolutions with some standard hacks...

Except with huge text sizes in Firefox.

I've used ems all the way and was wondering what the majority of people do when considering how much work to put in to ensure that people with really really poor eyesight can actually get the same experience as everyone else.

I tried expanding the text size on dozens of major websites and it appears there probably is some limit where it's not worth considering fixing overflowing divs on large text size.

So what does everyone else do?

Is this the right place to ask?

Hi all,
Just an opinion I would like to get from the folks here. For example: Let say you create a navigation bar thats contained within a div. You make a background image that is gradient from top to middle to bottom - dark/light/dark. You add your text links and align them over the middle lighter area of the div background, looks great. Now do you compensate for someone using a different text size? Maybe creating 3 different DIVS - two to fade from dark to light both ways, and the middle one being the light color of the gradient to hold the text? Or do you just forget about it and let the background repeat if the font size changes?

This is one of those pet peave things of mine, where I'd create images for links and have the peace of mind that my design won't be broken. I made a new site design in pure css, that in my opinion looks sweet, but I'm ready to trash it and go back to a table/image heavy design because I can't have absolute control of how it will look with all the variables considered.

Would love to hear opinions!

Hi

I'm working ona site at the moment: (URL address blocked: See forum rules)

The site is fine up to now, however when I change the size of the text in my browser settings to larger in firefox it ruins the look of the page, ie it puts everything out. Is there a way I can design the page elements so that they can accommodate larger text size and expand? At the moment all of the elements use jpeg images created in photoshop.

Thanks for any help!

I'm in need of help in this CSS coding. I used class to divine different font styles in the same page. But my question is how to set a standard or force a fix font size to the browser.

HEre is an example of a website whereby when I use the IE's View -> Text Size -> Largest or Smallest option, it doesn't change the font size!
http://www.htmlite.com

I've looked at its css file and I still can't find a clue to which code which makes the font size stays as it is.

Anyone can help, please??

I have a website created with absolute positioning. So when someone increases the font of the text on the page (with the view menu for the browser), some of my text may run outside of the images that they are placed over. I had this problem with IE as well as firefox, but set all of the text with font-size in my CSS file. Now IE works perfectly, but in firefox, the size of the text can still be increased, thus, making the text expand outside of the images. How can I prevent this in firefox?

Second question... is there a way to set the size of the actual bullets themselves to a set size so they dont increase/decrease? I'm referring to the bullets, and not the text beside the bullets... I may go with images for the bullets, but was trying to prevent that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
This is only happens in IE, in firefox (the only 2 browsers I tested) works fine.

http://nazgulled.no.sapo.pt/test.html

There's only one image inside the <div> tag, and I have set that div tag style to have a 10px height. But that doesn't work on IE... it's like there were some spaces wich because of the font-size it makes the height be more than 10px.... I wanted to fix that but how can I do it?

One solution is to make the div tag like this:
Code:

<div id="test"><img src="spect.gif" width="300" height="10" /></div>

instead of this:
Code:

<div id="test">
  <img src="spect.gif" width="300" height="10" />
</div>

But I don't want to fix it that way...

Any help would be hot, thanks.

Hi all,

I would like to get the user to be able to change their background/and or text size at the click of a button. I was going to try and use multiple sheets, but am not sure of the most effective way of doing this.
For an example of what I mean, search for "Disability Rights Commision" on Google.

how can you specify a new font size in a select list. I need to make the items appearing in that list smaller than they already are.

Hey,
wondering if any of you could help me with regards to syntax needed in CSS (im guessing) to make text fields in a form taller and wider?
Thanks,Sean

I have this problem making this menu and I have multible <h1></h1> on each title of the of stuff. It seems that the text gets bigger and bigger then when its to big then the text in the <h1> goes back smaller. Is there a way to fix this?
Here is my code.

Code:

h1 { font-family: cursive, sans serif;
 font-weight: normal; font-size: 200%; font-style: cursive;}

EDIT:The strange thing is that I know of this wird effect only happens in IE.

Thank you, sorry to be a bother but I do want to have a good first impression on my site that I am working for Ernies Bar & Grill at my town.

I'm trying to resize links on hover but doing so they change their vertical alignment during hover. Is there a way to prevent this ? Basically I just want the text to be bottom aligned and stay that way on hover. "text-align: top" works, but thats not what I want.

simple example:

CSS:
Code:

a:link, a:visited, a:active {
    font-size: 1em;
}
a:hover {
    font-size: 1.5em;
}

HTML:
Code:

<div>
    <a href="#">Text</a>
</div>

Hi,

Can anyone recommend how best to how to dynamically constrain amount of Text/Content in a DIV area that can vary in size??

That is, say you have:
(a) a content (DIV) area on your view that can expand/contract depending upon browser size ( i.e. when someone is re-sizing the browser window) and
(b) dynamic text/content that is to be displayed, based upon user input - e.g. image a defined area/size for several user comments for example. Users can create their own comments, but you only want them to be able to take up a given amount of screen resource, and then perhaps have a "...more" link at the bottom if they go over.

How can I best setup this up? e.g.
(1) How to setup the layout/CSS so that if more text / content is present in the DIV area that can be displayed that the DIV area doesn't expand due to the extra content the user put forward, and/or
(2) Do I need to also complete this by programming what content comes out? E.g. in Ruby on Rails say then the question would be how to calculate how much text/content can fit in the current size of the DIV (noting browser re-sizing) so that you get the chance to put the "...more" link at the bottom? Hopefully this approach isn't required.

Any other suggestions welcome that address what I'm trying to do are welcome, which is really offering a area for display of user feedback where each piece of feedback has a maximum area it can take on the main screen only, and also that browser re-sizing is possible.

Tks
Greg
