Hi Guys
I've been developing a basic webpage with a database using the wizard in Frontpage XP.
I've been editing the code to get it to do what I want. I've got a bit of code

<%response.write &quot;<a href=&quot;&quot;&quot; & FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,&quot;Hyperlink&quot;) & &quot;&quot;&quot;>&quot; & FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,&quot;News&quot;) & &quot;</a>&quot;%>

which displays the data as a hyperlink which is working fine. However, I can't seem to change the font of this, it's always defaulting to Times New Roman but I want it to be Verdana. I've put the <font> tag around the whole lot and even tried to set the standard format of the document to be verdana but no such luck. Whatever I do, it appears as Times New Roman.
Any ideas????

You could use CSS either in the head of the document to change all anchor tags to your new font:
Code: 
<head>
<style>
   a{
      font-family: verdana;
   }
</style>
...
or you can define a class that will only affect the tags that subscribe to it:
Code: 
<style>
   .myAnchor{
      font-family: verdana;
   }
</style>
...
<a class=&quot;myAnchor&quot; href=&quot;#&quot;>This is verdana</a>
<a href=&quot;#&quot;>This is not</a>

or you can define this style using inline style directly in the tag:
Code: 
generic example:
<a href=&quot;#&quot; style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;>Verdana!</a>

your code:
<%
Response.Write &quot;<a href=&quot;&quot;&quot; & FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,&quot;Hyperlink&quot;) & &quot;&quot;&quot; style=&quot;&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&quot;>&quot; & FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,&quot;News&quot;) & &quot;</a>&quot;%>

It is also a good idea to stack up several fonts in case the user doesn't have the first they will get your second choice, etc
Code: 
<style>
   a{
      font-family: verdana, courier, serif;
   }
</style>
or
<a href=&quot;#&quot; style=&quot;font-family: verdana, courier, serif;&quot;>Click me</a>


Hope that helps :)
