Can't work out how to change font size

[ondi]

Here's a snippet of my code. I can't for the life of me work out where to put the font size instruction, could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks

 

 $sort = isset($_GET['sort2']) ? $_GET['sort2'] : 'season_name';
    if( !in_array($sort,array('season_name','games','won','lost','draw','winpct')) )
        $sort = 'season_name';
    $query .= " ORDER BY " . $sort . " ASC";
    $rst = mysql_query($query);

    echo mysql_error();

    $j=1; $tmp = "<b>%s</b>";
    while( $r = mysql_fetch_array($rst) )
    {
    	if( ($j++) % 2 == 0)
    		$temp = "$bg1";
    	else
    		$temp = "$bg2";

    	echo"
    	<tr>

    	<td align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"$temp\">
        	 {$r[season_name]} </a>
    	</td>

    	<td align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\" font face=\"Arial\" size=\"1\" bgcolor=\"$temp\">";

        printf( ($sort == 'games'?$tmp:"%s"), $r['games'] );
        echo "</td>
        <td align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"$temp\">";

        printf( ($sort == 'won'?$tmp:"%s"), $r['won'] );
        echo "</td>
        <td align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"$temp\">";

        printf( ($sort == 'draw'?$tmp:"%s"), $r['draw'] );
        echo "</td>
        <td align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"$temp\">";

        printf( ($sort == 'lost'?$tmp:"%s"), $r['lost'] );
        echo "</td>
        <td align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"$temp\">";

        printf( ($sort == 'winpct'?$tmp:"%s"), $r['winpct'] );

    	echo"</td>
    	</tr>
    	\n";

        $games += $r['games'];
        $won += $r['won'];
        $draw += $r['draw'];
        $lost += $r['lost'];
    }

    ?>

 

Here's the font code which i've been trying to use...

 

font size=\"1\"

don't use <font> its worthless, use <span style="font-size: 14px;">TEXT HERE</span>

[ondi]

How would i incorporate that into

 

 printf( ($sort == 'games'?$tmp:"%s"), $r['games'] );
        echo "</td>

 

Thanks

You shouldn't use HTML to size fonts. You should be using CSS for that.

You shouldn't use HTML to size fonts. You should be using CSS for that.

 

I know i should be using CSS, but creating an entire style sheet will take far too long, I'm just looking for a quick fix.

[RussellReal]

wildteen, either way, my 'html' is using css

[ondi]

well, either way, im no closer to solving my problem! tried using <span style="font-size: 14px;"> but all that did was change my font to times new roman, and teh size wouldn't change!

[ondi]

Can anyone shed some light on this please? Thanks

I would recommend using javascript if that helps, here is a snippet of code I've been using

$(document).ready(function(){
  // Reset Font Size
  var originalFontSize = $('div').css('font-size');
  $(".resetFont").click(function(){
  $('div').css('font-size', originalFontSize);
  });
  // Incrementa Font Size
  $(".increaseFont").click(function(){
  	var currentFontSize = $('div').css('font-size');
	var currentFontSizeNum = parseFloat(currentFontSize, 10);
    var newFontSize = currentFontSizeNum*1.2;
$('div').css('font-size', newFontSize);
return false;
  });
  // Decrementa Font Size
  $(".decreaseFont").click(function(){
  	var currentFontSize = $('div').css('font-size');
	var currentFontSizeNum = parseFloat(currentFontSize, 10);
    var newFontSize = currentFontSizeNum*0.8;
$('div').css('font-size', newFontSize);
return false;
  });
});

to change font size, just link that up to the correct classes and it works, some sort of modification of this might help you

Please post only the relevant html. PHP is serverside and does not affect the way a page "looks" for the average user.

 

<span style="font-size: 14px;">TEXT HeRE</span>

 

Doesn't that work?

 

... It doesn't work because you are using deprecated size="1"?? Use css!

 

In web development there are no "quick fixes." You either fix it good or use deprecated, obsolete html back from 1998.
