HTML Font Tag: How to Change Text Size and Style for Your Webpage

[biferi]

When I make a webpage and I want my Text in my Link to be say Font Size 6 am I right I would do this

<font size="6">
<A HREF="form.html" TARGET="B">
<img src="mailbox.gif" width="16%">
<BR>
E-MAIL THE ARTIST
</A>
</font>

Thanks

This is not a good way to do this. You should use CSS to style links.

a { font-size: 6 }

You should also use lowercase letters for your tags.

I think the simplistic thing that you may be looking for is something like:

<font size="6">E-MAIL THE ARTIST</font>

The font tag has been deprecated. All styling should be done via CSS.

<br> should also be <br />, to conform to XHTML.

<br> should also be <br />, to conform to XHTML.

Only if you are using the XHTML doc type. HTML5 is gaining speed. :)

So if I want to make my text in my Link a Font size I do this

<DIV ALIGN="center">
<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;
font-size:16;">

<A HREF="form.html" TARGET="B">
<img src="mailbox.gif" width="16%">
<BR>
E-MAIL THE ARTIST
</A>
</p>

A very good site to check to make sure your code is good/to learn from is http://www.w3schools.com/

http://www.w3schools.com/css/

From just viewing the last link, it appears your CSS code is not valid.

 

[DavidSnider]

Having inline styles on individual tags is not easily maintainable. It is highly suggested that you use an external stylesheet and learn CSS.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

You need to end your DIV tag and align center is not valid.

<span style="font-size:6">some text in here</span>

OR

<div style="font-size:6">some text in here</div>
