Table cell font problem 1

aharrisreid · Mar 2, 2003

I wish the text throught an entire page to have the attribute
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif" size="-1">.

If I place the above <font> attribute just after the <body> tag, all body and form text is fine, but any text in table cells is a different size (sometimes a different font too)! Text within input boxes in table cells is fine, but not text by itself!

I have placed the <font...> tag after the <table> and <tr> lines with no success. The only way I can get the right font and size is to place the <font> command after <td>. This is a lot of work in a table with many cells!

Where can I place the <font> command once so it applies to the whole page (or at least the whole table)?

TIA
Alan

put a stylesheet in your document <head>:
<style type="text/css">
body, th, td { font: normal 10pt sans-serif; }
</style>

Then you don't have to use font tags at all.

Hope it helps,

petey, thanks for the reply.

Your stylesheet suggestion did the trick.

That's what I want - they are a pain!
