Service Mark Symbol? Drop Caps?

[tnsbuff]

Hi,

I have a couple of questions:

1. I have a customer who's requesting the SM - Service Mark symbol on a web page. I've found sites that show the code for the Service Mark symbol (SM) . . . sort of like TradeMark, but it doesn't display correctly for me and I'm wondering if it's possible because one of the sites actually used an image to show what the symbol looked like. Why would they do that if the code worked? Has anyone had success using this symbol? When I used the code it displays sort of like a checkbox, but it's supposed to be "SM".

2. Is it possible to use a different font for a drop-cap ... different than the font used in the rest of the paragraph? When I tried it, it kept making both the same font. Anyone . . . ?

Thanks very much for any tips!

1. I didn't see any html character entity for SM, but you can easily emulate it:
^SM

2. If you talk about <select> list, use CSS:

<style>
.one { font: 8pt verdana, arial, sans-serif; width:100px }
</style>

then in html:
<select class=one>

Thanks Starway! I think I have it working.

Any ideas on the drop-cap issue?

Thanks again!
