Hi - back again and still reading all the messages, or I should say as many as I can!
I have a couple of more questions -
1. How do I get the link colors set within a tr, td table?

2. Is it possible to set 2 different size fonts for example - If I wanted to:
font-family: script,arial,sans-serif;
font-size: 3em;
If I set the size to 1em it is too small for the script but if someone doesnt have script, their puter would go to next font and 3em would be huge. So the question is:
Can 3em be set for script and 1em for the other two?
I hope I explained myself okay?
Thanks for any help,
RenVac

Well the CSS2 standard agrees with you that this would be a good idea. It includes a property in CSS2 called "font-style-adjust" that allows you to set the size of alternate fonts relative to the "x-height"* of your first-choice font.
*("x-height" is the height of the unaccented, non-ascending lowercase letters, e.g., the letter "v")

Unfortunately, last I checked there is no browser that currently implements this property! I cannot say categorically that no recent versions of Netscape, Opera, etc. have added this, but IE 6 definitely does not implement it, which immediately excludes a large percentage of viewers.

Or more commonly refered to as "the height of the letter x" :)

Well thank you for your answers! So I guess what you are saying is forget it for now and somewhere in the future more browsers will accept this method.
Thanks

In the future Internet Explorer may understand it...
It works in Mozilla/Netscape/Opera :)
