html_code_clinic thread: Text formatting in forms


Message #1 by "John Coutts" <contact@w...> on Tue, 18 Jun 2002 11:49:41
Guys:

The following code worked for me!

<form>

<input style="font-size: 8px;" type="text">

<select style="font-size: 8px;">
        <option>hello </option>
        <option>hello 2 </option>
</select>

</form>


Cheers!

Hi John,

Did you try to use style info? you might add something like: 
style="{font-size:
9px;}" to your tag, or make a class with that info in it and assign it 
to the
tag.
when you want to also change the font face, it's best to make a class. You
style sheet should hold something like this:
.smallfonts {
   font-size: 8px;
   font-family: verdana, sans-serif;
   }

so you can add: class=smallfonts to your tag.

Let me know if it works!

Greetz,
Marc
