[enigma]

Hey guys,

I've just started making a website for my dad's business. He's trying to put out info for clients and prospective customers and just general public etc etc..

So far it's just the one page - the pics arent full quality and all the text is bullshit - but I just needed to get a basic design down.

I'm basically just after some opinions and ideas if that's possible.

Thanks!

..Linky..

no worries mate, glad to help!

as for CSS, if you are just formating text and table cells, its pretty easy to get the hang of.

For example, create a new blank file, and call it 'styles.css' or whatever.

Then, for what you have at the moment, you just enter something like:

CODE

body {  
 
  font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  font-size: 10px;
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: normal;
  color: #000000;

  }


.heading {
 
  font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  font-size: 10px;
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: #000000;

  }

Save the file into your web directory.

Then, at the top of each page, inside your [HEAD] tags, put:

CODE

<link rel="stylesheet" href="[INSERT RELATIVE PATH]/defStyle.css" type="text/css">

From there, your text will be formatted by 'body', and you can use 'heading' as a style element (the '.' in front of 'heading' means you will have to apply it, as it is not a generic style like 'body')

So, you will end up with something like one of these:

CODE

<p class="heading">This is my Heading</p>

CODE

<span class="heading">This is my Heading</span>

CODE

<td class="heading">This is my Heading</td>

etc etc.

Generally speaking, CSS is the way to go with more basic formatting, and you shouldn't run into any problems with browser-compatibility. :) ;)
