Fonts in layers

B

Brian

Can I set the font for a layer? My default for editing in Tahoma, but every
time I test a layer the font displays in Times NR.

Sure you can. But are you wanting to set this for how it looks in FP or
when previewed in the browser?

I'm not sure what CSS is Murray. I'm just using FrontPage as an application.
I have no HTML experience. In other words if it can't be done with a button
or a menu I will be lost.

OK - we can help you with that.

How have you tried to control the font in the layer? Can you show me the
page's code?

Hi Murray
I've cut and pasted one of the layer text from the code. Here it is
<td valign="middle"><b>
<font size="2" color="#216C81"
onmouseover="FP_setLayerText(/*id*/'layer1', 'Layer text 1')">
link</font></b></td>
<td height="23"> </td>
There are several changes in the layer text as the pointer rolls over a set
of links. Layer test 1, Layer text 2, Layer text 3 etc.

Thanks
Brian

I'm not quite grasping what you are trying to do, but I know that the font
tag cannot support an event handler -

<font size="2" color="#216C81" onmouseover=

Do you have the whole page uploaded somewhere?

No I don't have it on-line yet Murray. the font displayed in the layers is
Arial 12. However this isn't the default font for the page.

Brian:

Until I can see the page, I can't really understand what it is you are
trying to do. Sorry.

I'm still worried about your use of the onmouseover handler on a font tag,
by the way. I just don't think that's going to work at all.
