Cascading Style Sheets?

P

Paul Kraemer

Hi,

I created a file MyStyle.css consisting of no more than
the following lines...

body
{
font-family: Times New Roman;
font-size: 10pt;
font-weight: bold;
}

....This file is in my website's root folder. I have
an .html file with the following line in between the
<head></head> tags...

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

....Now, if I type some text inside the <body></body>
tags, I thought that it should appear in Times New Roman
10pt bold. It doesn't. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Paul

change your external sheet to this:

p, td, th, div{
font-family: Times New Roman;
font-size: 10pt;
font-weight: bold;
}

And make these modifications -

p, td, th, div{
font-family: "Times New Roman";
font-size: 12pxt;
font-weight: bold;
}

Multiple word font names must be enclosed in quotes; you should not use a
print metric for your fonts on the web. Instead of points, you should be
using ems, exs, percents, pixels, or size names. In addition, it's best to
use multiple font names, e.g.,

font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;

Murray,

Is that pxt or px that I should use for the font-size? I
tried to look up pxt and couldn't find anything on it.

Thanks,
Paul

Oops - sorry. Steve is right - it's definitely px. <lame excuse>I
overtyped the "p" of "pt" but not the "t" of "pt"</lame excuse>!
