CSS - Css Text And Font Help Please
i copied some of this code from a page i liked. all it is is a background image and i want to type text over it that is in a table. the problem is i cannot center my text ("<?=$information[nickName]?>"). the text always is on the left, never in the center. i have tried different things such as
<td align=center> as opposed to the <td valign=center> the other author has in the 2nd block, the align:center does not work with font. and i have tried appending a ;text-align:center within that SPAN tag, but that does not work either. does anyone have any advice??? thanks! <table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="750" style="border: solid black 2px;"> <tr><td style="background-image:url(images/name_test.jpg); background-attachment: 100% 0%"> <table border="0" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=1><TR><TD valign="center"><SPAN style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial black, helvetica; padding: 3px; align: center;"><?=$information[nickName]?></SPAN></TD></TR> </table> Similar TutorialsHi, 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 there, I have two font sizes: 22px and 12px. However, If I use the 2 sizes next to each other, the large pushes the smaller on down. I tried to use vertical-align: middle to center them vertically, but it didn't work. How can I center them vertically? Thanks! Hi, I just can't seem to get my head around this one. I have a website title which appears on every page. The whole title is a link to the index page of the website. I want the second part of the title to be a h1 header with smaller font in a different colour. I also want the whole title to be on one line. I can only seem to get either all the words in the same font, or I can get the two parts to display their different fonts correctly, but they then appear on two lines, one under the other! My page code: <div id="garden-designer-title"><a href="(*website address*)" title="home">Joe Blogs</a><h1 style="display: inline'"><a href="(*website address*)" title="home">Garden Design</a></h1> </div> My stylesheet code: #garden-designer-title { position:relative; left:0px; top:0px; padding: 0; margin: 0; width:526px; height:51px; z-index:7; } #garden-designer-title a { position:relative; font-size: 46px; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #009999; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; } #garden-designer-title h1 a { display: inline; font-size: 29px; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #9482A4; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; } Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?! Many thanks! New to this but with due diligence, will learn this......I have built asp update form to allow users to enter new data into the database. They are wanting to change new text entries into blue rather than using the default color (black). This highlights those new entries for those reviewing the data. I have googled for methods ranging from radio buttons to check boxes to define a new font color with no luck so far....any help is greatly appreciated............best case I think, would be a font tool bar added to the form, but have not found that method thanks I have a 'DIV' tag, its css height property is set to 15px. Why is it, that it's not really 15px until I insert "font: 10px Verdana " *** one of the rules? So fi I have: #topSeperate { height: 15px; width: 100%; background-color: #00FF00; font-weight: bold; font: 10pt Verdana; } The div is perfect, but as soon as I remove the font: tag, it grows in height about 4px even though there is no text typed in the 'DIV'. If this doesnt make sense and you need further explaination, Let me know. Hi there, Does anyone know what font this is that is used for text such as "Everything you need to get a professional website online" at the top and below: "Takeaway Website Standard" When I highlight it, it has a black bacground which is unusual. Any ideas? Thanks! I would like to set my site so that any text not given a specific class id for CSS will appear as a certain font. can I do this, and if so, how? thanks. I am trying to use this font for my text: http://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Droid+Sans I have tried using: font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; but it doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks! 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?

Thanks for you help Liz 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? hi, someone using foxfire keeps saying the my font is really really tiny, I have my css file like:

I've been reading up on @font-face, and to me it seems like not many people are using this. Its more or less supported in all browsers (well, not ie 6) so was wondering if there is a reason no one is using this that I'm over looking? If not it seems awesome, and I think it will make the designers here giddy with joy. 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... Is possible to write this in one line? : Code: font: 12px Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.4; What I need to do to put line-height: 1.4; in font line ? Hello, My font shorthand have this different outputs on IE and FF Quote: h1 { /*font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal;*/ font: normal medium bold 16px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0 10px; padding: 15px 0 5px 0; color: #FFF; } If I replace the font-variant at shorthand it works well on IE but still the font size is not rendered Quote: font: normal larger bold 16px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; the commented long hand is what I'm trying to get Is there any way to embed font so it would be viewable by firefox? I know yo can do it in IE, but can't find a way for firefox. Thanks, Greg Hi, Suppose I define a font-family with several fallbacks, for example: Code: font-family: "Georgia", "Liberation Serif", serif; Now I would like to know which font did the browser effectively pick without me having to go through my system looking for which fonts are installed. When I inspect the text with tools such as Firebug or the Web Developer Toolbar, they just give me the full font-family definition, but don't tell me the actual font being used... Thank you in advance! Jean Hi guys I've started this thread in this CSS forum, because I need to find a solution in CSS code. I was given the following image. I must make same menu, using CSS.
