SillyBilly Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I am using this as a DTD <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 TRANSITIONAL//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> Since color is deprecated, I have tried to use CLASS, DIV and SPAN but they put the words at the beginning of a new line, causing the words of the sentence to be out of order. I had no success with ID. I have read many articles, explanations and examples, but none I saw address my problem.I want to change the color of three words in a sentence, there, their, they're. For example, the 3 homonyms should be a different color than the others.When you write your sentence will you use there, their or they're correctly?Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

I mistyped. I use the color property for the font color in my CSS. But it is always best to have the correct terminology. I made another note.

SillyBilly Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 Thank you for the correct code. I mistyped. I use the color property for the font color in my CSS. But it is always best to have the correct terminology. I made another note.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just a follow-up to the above, because the code worked as expected when I made a new file with that code only, but it did not in my file. The reason was that I had another span that I did not name originally and it passed it down some of the attributes. Here is the code, which I corrected by naming the first span (.letter), and by adjusting the font-size in the second span.<style type="text/css">span.letter{float:left;width:.07 emfont-color: #FFFFCC;font-size: 400%;font-family: verdana,helvetica,arial,serif;line-height: 80%}span.colour{color:#FFFFFF; font-size: 100%;} I'm learning. Thanks for being patient. Now I'll work on the deprecated center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
