Color but no tags?

[Rugbee]

Dose anybody know how to make words in color?
I was at the other site and it only gives out the numbers, it doesn’t give out the flag to put in front and back

:(

<span style="color: blue; font-size: 12px">foo</span>
flagIt's actually called a tag.

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<span style="color: blue; font-size: 12px">foo</span>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

code:
<span style="color:blue;frontsize:12px">foo</span>
Testing 123 testing 123

Is that code just for this forum?:confused:

[Rugbee]

No, I asked how to make letters and words colored, but the above code didn’t work

<font face="times new roman" size="5" color="#ffff00">Your Text Or Numbers Here</font>

<span style="color:blue;frontsize:12px">foo</span>
Testing 123 testing 123
You missed the hyphen in font-size and your "Testing 123" text is outside the enclosing tags.

<font face="times new roman" size="5" color="#ffff00">Your Text Or Numbers Here</font>The font element is deprecated (and has been for the past 3 1/2 years) and shouldn't be used. Style sheets offer far more control with far less work.

It still works so I still use it, when it stops working I won't use it anymore.
Also I don't know any css yet.

CSS is very easy - I'm sure you could learn it in a weekend. Also, if you continue to make webpages with deprecated tags, when they do stop working then you will have to do a lot of work.

HTML tags should be tested is an HTML page, not a forum. If you want to change the font of your text in the forum, you can read how in the FAQ (http://forums.webdeveloper.com/misc.php?s=&action=faq&page=3#HTML).

Hey cijori, I thought that css was another complete language like jscript.

If it isn't then I suppose that's good because there's less to learn but unfortunately I don't know how to learn it, it took me 2 or 3 years just to learn html, (and I still don't know it all), because I had to have a look at various different sites and then get practise using it. I've only learned as much jscript as I have recently because of the forum next door.

It is, but it is a very simple language because there are not many new 'tags'. The basis is, you use the <style> tag to declare you're using css, then use the tag name, ID or class of the element followed by a pair of curly braces, surrounding it's attributes. e.g.

<style>
p { font-color:red}
#hello {text-align:right}
.boo {border-width:10px}
</style>

would make all text enclosed in <p> tags red, the element with ID "hello" align to the right, and the element with class name "boo" have a border 10 pixels thick.

Yes and no. Its not a language. But there is a lot to learn and you could spend a long time to master it. But to make decent personal websites, it shouldn't take more than a week or two.

Try the tutorial at http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
They have some 70 examples. At 10 examples a day, it should take you a week. And a few more weeks to try on your html pages.
