Trouble setting div link class font size

Cannot get the links in a div to go to 1.03 em

[cheaperholidays]

Hi all

I am trying to get links in a series of divs to accept a font size of 1.03em

Body font is set to 100% our css is as follows
the link class is "sbrtd"

#weather{margin-top:20px;width:100%;clear:both;overflow: hidden;
}

#canaries, #africa, #caribbean, #med{float:left;text-align:center;border:solid 1px #DBDBDB;}
#canaries{width:19%;text-align:left;margin:6px 8px 15px;padding:10px;}
#africa{width:19%;text-align:left;margin:6px 8px 15px;padding:10px;}
#caribbean{width:19%;text-align:left;margin:6px 8px 15px;padding:10px;}
#med{width:19%;text-align:left;margin:6px 12px 8px;padding:10px;}


/*.sbr{color:#990000; padding:5px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold;margin-left:7px}*/
#canaries a.sbr{text-align:center;padding:8px;color:#990000;text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold;}
#canaries a.sbr:hover{color:#A40506;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold}
#africa a.sbr{padding:8px;color:#990000;text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold}
#africa a.sbr:hover{color:#A40506;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold}
#caribbean a.sbr{padding:8px;color:#990000;text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold}
#caribbean a.sbr:hover{color:#A40506;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold}
#med a.sbr{padding:8px;color:#990000;text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold}
#med a.sbr:hover{color:#A40506;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold}

#canaries a.sbrtd,#caribbean a.sbrtd,#africa a.sbrtd,#med a.sbrtd {padding:0 8px;font-size:1.03em;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;}


I have tried varios combinations, but nothing seems to work.


Kind regards

Mike

We'll need to see a bit of the html that calls the css.

Also note that very small changes in font size can be iffy. Anything less than 5% simply may not show up, unless the font is pretty large to start with. Fetch out the calculator: what's 103% of 14? The browser may well decide it's ... 14.

Hi Lucy 24

Here you go

<div id="weather"><div id="canaries"><a href="http://www.example.com/canary.php" class="sbr" title="Canaries">The Place</a><p>
<a class="sbrtd" title="weather" href="http://www.example.com/">Ventures</a>

Update: Fixed''' changed the body font to 100% and upped the link size to 1.06em

I hope this helps anyone else

Yes, 1.06 is generally enough to push it up one point. But unless you've got something wonky going on, it shouldn't be necessary to specify 100%. That's the default, after all.
