kevineugenius Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I'm re-vamping a site that I didn't write in the first place, so I'm wondering a couple things... What is the difference between < b> < /b> and < strong> < /strong> < br> and < br /> Also, most of the fonts on the site are created with a <h1> </h1> etc. Where do you define what those mean? I assume that strategy is used so that you can change the font on multiple areas of the site with only one actual change to a single file, I just don't know where to do that. ** edit ** I found a .css file that looks like it probably is what dictates the default fonts. So, I'm just learning this stuff, what would a web host have to have in place to run a .css file? I have never heard of it before. I have another site hosted on 1and1.com that I'd like to mimic this style, but I don't know if I have to set anything up first or not.

pocobueno1388 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 <h1></h1> basically changes the size of the font. <h1> would be the biggest, and the bigger the number after the 'h', the smaller the font. Your first question kinda got cut off. I think the HTML got executed instead of being posted as text. Put the tags in between [/code.][./code] without the dots. You should be able to easily find these answers on google. Go search for a basic HTML tutorial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enoyhs Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Please fix your post. I don't see comparison to <strong></strong> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effigy Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 The < strong> and < em> tags are "logical" tags. This means that they are used deliberately when the designer wants to add emphasis to particular words or phrases. Some screen readers may use a different inflection when they come across these tags to communicate the emphasis. The < b> and < i> tags are primarily for visual effect on a page when designing layout. Source: http://www.think-ink.net/html/bold.htm < br/> conforms to XHTML, as every tag must have an ending.

kevineugenius Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Sorry, I did a preview post and it looked fine in my browser. I use IE7, so maybe some of you are on Opera or Firefox? Anyway, the codes in question are: <b> vs <strong> and the other one was answered already. Anyway, not a big deal, my main question has been answered to I'll just stick to using strong since that's what I'm used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
