Even IExplorer which is the less customizable browser ever can change font size...

The browser-variable font size only refers to that using the HTML SIZE tag. If the size is specified as 12px or 12pt in CSS, for example, changing the browser's font size will actually not change the way it displays (this is why we in the industry love CSS, it's a way of standardizing the display for people who have annoying browser settings. )

hmm yes, I wasn't referring to that but to user stylesheets.

from MSDN:

quote:

User-Defined Style Sheets Through the Options dialog box of the browser, users can specify a style sheet that they want to have applied to all pages that they view. This style sheet will be applied to the document first, meaning the author has the final say of how a CSS attribute is defined. Style sheets defined in the document override the user-defined style sheet. The user-defined style sheet is simply a "preference" that will affect the page if the author has not defined a rule for that CSS attribute. User-defined style sheets specified by the user in the Options box dialog of the browser are not listed in the styleSheets collection.

Document style sheets override user stylesheets, which is not the case in other browsers, you can do whatever you want.

Haven't used IE in a while. bad absumption

about the .css, my css file apparently isn't working or something. In the Dreamweaver MX WYSIWYG window pane thing, my page shows up the way its supposed to in regards to font color and style, but not size (still affected by .css file changes, just not the same size as in the preview... F12). F12 (preview in browser) yields Times New Roman font instead of the Verdana, and the font size is smaller than in MX's preview pane.

Sample of my .css file:

.h {
background-color: black;
font: Verdana;
color: white;
font-size: 75%;
}

What am I doing wrong?

It's well done so far I guess, but not my style. As long as it suits you and what you're promoting though...

I taught myself html from looking the source of basic webpages. For me, everything I build is based around tables, layers upon layers of them.

creates a new table. It is possible to create tables within tables. You'll need to do this for your content area.

somoeone help, I read stuff up, no direct answers

EDIT: basically all I need to know is why the F12 thing isn't working, and why I can cahnge the text size in IE, even though the size is defined in the .css file (according to previous posts, if it's defined in a .css file, text size should not change in IE regardless of what text size you set it to).

nm font problem solved, now just the size...

EDIT 2: found out the damn size prob (sort of). It's "px" not "px.". What a stupid thing, held me back for a while. Still doesn't solve the incorrect WYSIWYG preview in mx, meh.

use notepad or a better replacement, or bear with MX crap

You haven't given us any info in regards to how you're actually using this tag. You've declared a style "h" - how and where is it being used?

Perhaps instead of ".h", you meant to use "body" ?
