HTML Help please

Hi,

Can anyone please help with a bit of HTML stuff?

I know very little about this but I need to put something on my company web site but I want to use a very small font size and use different colours. How do I do this?

The site uses a similar system as when we post on here (the box I am typing in now) but there are no buttons or font stuff as there are here.

Cheers

Mark

HTML is fairly straight forward once you get your head around it.

w3schools

Is a really good resource. As for you problem what you should be doing is using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). It is probably worth learning how to use these as it will really help you if you need to do any more HTML stuff.

But if the project is just a one of and you just want a quick bodge you might be able to get away with something like

<small>
This text is small
</small>

or using one of the smaller heading tags (depending on how they are setup) like <h6>

If your really stuck then post the code up here or U2U me for my email then send it ot me and ill probably be able to be of more assistance

EDIT: Sorry just realised that in my haste i have miss-read your initial post... so CSS might not be an option

depending on what system you are using for the website and if it takes straight html. Then something like this may work.

<FONT SIZE=1>very small</FONT>

If it uses HTML and not something like BB code you would use something like the following
code:

<font size="8" face="Tahoma" color="blue">
The text you want to format
</font>

I'm actually currently in the process of writing a beginner's guide to HTML and CSS, at the moment it's still a work in progress but the tutorials are up and by tomorrow I'll have my HTML and CSS references up. I'd be pleased to hear what everyone thinks of it

Thanks, glad you like it

I've now finished off the menus and whatnot so the site is essentially fully functional apart from a couple of awkward bugs - here's the link again: Beginners Guide To HTML
