For one thing, font names are case sensitive, and Verdana and Arial both begin with uppercase letters.

i just noticed something.... When i remove the html !DOCTYPE, my css code (to change anchor font and size) will work. But when i put the html !DOCTYPE again, the css code will stop working. Is it because i am using XHTML 1.0 transitional !doctype or what? Please i need your help. Thanks in adv.

DD, didn't know about case sensitivity in font names. All I have to do with that fact is remember to remember it. Thanks!

Yeah, it's the doctype that enforces things like case. When you see HTML written all in uppercase, like <TABLE>, you know you're looking at a relic from the 90s (the code or its writer, hard to tell).

What do you guys suggest i do?Because even the font-size also refuse to work.

Post your entire code, there are probably other factors influencing the style.
