Globally change fontsize in website
Hi,
I am trying to globally change the default font size in all pages in my
website.
I created a shared CSS file which contains a class like this:
..NormalText11 {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 8px;
color: #003300;
}
And in every page i have <BODY tag like this:
<body background="Images/menuback.gif" class="NormalText1" >
Using above style in <Body tag, it does changes the fonts and colors;
however it doesn't change the font size. It uses the default font-size which
is 12px.
That means i have to explicitly mention font-size everywhere in <P> or <TD>
tags.
Is there a better way to define default font size for all pages in website
in a ceteralized place ?
Any help would be appreciated,
Ali

You're wrong, the style in the CSS file is ".NormalText11", in the body
tag it's ".NormalText1"

For starters, 8px is incredibly small...that may cause a lot of problems for
your end users.
<TD>> That means i have to explicitly mention font-size everywhere in <P> orAre you specifying font sizes anywhere else with any other tags? It sounds> tags.
like you may have a separate style defning sizes for P tags or TD tags.
Yes, use this:> Is there a better way to define default font size for all pages in website
> in a ceteralized place ?
body, div, p, th, td, li, dd {
font-size: 11px;
}
Then, everywhere else, use a relative size (ems, percentages, etc.)
That way, when you want to change font size globally, you only need to
change that one item.
Note that you can just declare the 'body' if you're not worrying about NN4.

Thanks for help
No. The style changes color and font, but it ignores the size.> Are you specifying font sizes anywhere else with any other tags?
NN4.> Note that you can just declare the 'body' if you're not worrying about
My website works with IE5.0 and higher. Is it a big deal? Am I going to
loose alot of visitors ?
Thanks again for help,

Sorry, it was just a typo. In the actual page, it changes the color and font
face, but it ignores the size !!!

Well, that's according to your server logs. It all depends on the particular
site's audience.

I think NN4 probably comprises about 1% or less of visitors, and most of
those can switch to IE if they need to (although they might not bother).
And according to my server logs, more people still use IE2.0 than NN7 :)

Obviously there'll be a variance away from the mean depending on particular
circumstances. I based that figure on various trends, including, but not
limited to, the servers logs from my own sites and those of my clients.

Troyan #10 Re: Globally change fontsize in website
Try it (immediate after <body> tag or between <head> </head>):
<basefont style="font: 8px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #003300;" />
This should work.
