KRKILGORE Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I'm finishing my web page and want to put up some links. Thing is, on my chosen background for the page it's difficult to see the standard TimesRoman font that is the default for the program I use. I'd like to know what script is needed to change the font, as well as size, color, and how to put a plain color background behind the text in needed. If anyone knows how to, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonjga Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Are you using a html editor? If so you could change them through the options, else apply a style eg#style1 {font-family: whatFontYouWant;font-size: x-small;color: #CCCCCC;}then you need a table or div so that you can apply a different background.so <table width="100%" bgcolor="#000000">Hope that sorts u out,Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-Man Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 No need for a table... You can use CSS to apply a background to any element.Like for paragraphs you could do this: p { background-color: yellow;} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRKILGORE Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Ok, I got it to change font size & color, and it puts a background behind the link, but there is a gap between each link. What's the code for a blank line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
