View Full Version : Same font face in all table cells within Netscape???

Netscape doesn't seem to recognize the 'basefont' command..

In my pages, I use Copperplate Gothic Light, but in tables it goes to the default font (Arial or the like). In Internet Explorer, it's copperplate gothic light everywhere, like I would expect it to be..

The only think I can figure is to < f o n t f a c e = "BLAH"> within each table cell, which will add about 20k of text in some of my pages (!)... Is there an easier way?

CSS (http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-CSS21-20020802/) is the only way to go. Look *now*! ;)

And there is no such thing as a <fontface> tag.

yeah, "basefont" and whatnot are proprietary tags created by Microsoft, so they aren't supported in NS. Just use CSS, it'll work.

Well, you see first of all... I meant <font face> not <fontface>..

And of course, when I say <font face> I mean <font face="stupid font">

And second of all... I don't have time to get all up and involved in a completely different way to do my pages.. I have a lot of them... And little time.. Did I mention.. no... That I leave tomorrow for two weeks and wont have any form of computer while I'm gone?... That's my excuse :D

When I get back, I'll check it out.

Yea, include td with the body selector in your CSS.
