Html Trouble!

sarah-jane · 08-Jul-2007, 07:43 PM #1

Please help...

this is what i have for my "about me" section on myspace...

<center> <color="FFFFFF"> **writing** **photojournalism** **rock n roll** **films** **trees** **sci-fi** **people** </color> </center>

the actual layout is coming up fine with the spacing in between lines, however it is still coming up in normal font size (quite small), it is not bold and it comes up black, not white.

what am i doing wrong?? please help!!!

Not exactly sure what you want, but you can play with this:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
        <title>About me</title>
        <style type="text/css">
            body {
                margin: 0;
                padding: 8px;
                color: #fff;
                background: #000;
            }
            ul.interests {
                list-style: none;
                margin: 0;
                padding: 0;
                font-family: Times, sans-serif;
                font-size: 3.1em;
                font-weight: bold;
            }
            ul.interests li {
                text-align: center;
                padding: 10px;
                margin: 0;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <ul class="interests">
            <li>**writing**</li>
            <li>**photojournalism**</li>
            <li>**rock n roll**</li>
            <li>**films**</li>
            <li>**trees**</li>
            <li>**sci-fi**</li>
            <li>**people**</li>
        </ul>
    </body>
</html>

you need to use in-line CSS to get the effect you're looking for. try learning about in-line CSS here.

you are trying to set the color and size for a particular section correct? Did you set text color when you were setting your <body> parameters? Also a way out could be to use the heading tags since you are centering it. <h2></h2> . I'd go with Mr. dez the little I learned about CSS makes coding that much easier.

sarah-jane,
If you want to get rid of the table set the border = "0", and to get rid of the background color remove the bgcolor = "D3D3D3". This way you don't have to worry about the css.

Code:

<table bgcolor = "#D3D3D3" border = "1" align = "center">
	<tr align = "center">
		<td align = "center" style = "font: Bold 14px Times sans-serif; color: #FFFFFF">**Writing**</td>
	</tr>
	<tr align = "center">
		<td align = "center" style = "font: Bold 14px Times sans-serif; color: #FFFFFF">**Photo Journalism**</td>
	</tr>
	<tr align = "center">
		<td align = "center" style = "font: Bold 14px Times sans-serif; color: #FFFFFF">**Rock-n-Roll**</td>
	</tr>
	<tr align = "center">
		<td align = "center" style = "font: Bold 14px Times sans-serif; color: #FFFFFF">**Films**</td>
	</tr>
	<tr align = "center">
		<td align = "center" style = "font: Bold 14px Times sans-serif; color: #FFFFFF">**Trees**</td>
	</tr>
	<tr align = "center">
		<td align = "center" style = "font: Bold 14px Times sans-serif; color: #FFFFFF">**Sci-fi**</td>
	</tr>
	<tr align = "center">
		<td align = "center" style = "font: Bold 14px Times sans-serif; color: #FFFFFF">**People**</td>
	</tr>		
</table>
