Hmm... why aren't you allowed to use CSS?

Anyway, I think you can do:

HTML: Select all

<a href="#"><font color="#COLOUR HERE">LINK HERE</font></a>

You can't even use the style attribute?

Why not add styles to the html page then?

In the <head> tags include

HTML: Select all

<style>STYLES GO HERE as you would a CSS file</style>

That you can't do without css

See the CSS Beginner FAQ sticky in the CSS Forum

I control the below the header of the site, its one of 100 or so.

I have tried putting .css in to it and spoke to the people above
and if they let me do it they would have to let the other 99 sites do it.

They are lazy or dont trust (probably the trust thing) they dont know what they are missing.

But some people still go for the old saying if it works why change it.

Cheers

I was refreshing myself the other day in the CSS beginners FAQ
as I had done a bad attempt of a website, that yourself (karinne) pointed me in the right direction.

could you double check it for me and see if i am going in the right direction now

How about putting them in span classes then?

<span style="text-decoration: none; color: COLOUR HERE"><a href="#">LINK HERE</a></span>

Are you sure that you cant put somthing like this in?

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">
CSS in here
</style>

This doesnt require you to upload anything.....

Shoot. Marc, you beat me to it!

Anyways,

This is quite simple:

HTML: Select all

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style1 {color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold;}
.style2 {font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; text-decoration: underline;}
.style3 {font-size: 16px; font-variant: small-caps;}
-->
</style>

Change and add styles to your liking. PS: they do not have to be named "style1", "style2", etc. Name them whatever you want. Just make sure to use the styles like this:

HTML: Select all

<p class="name">Text</p>
OR
<span class="name">Text</span>
OR
<div class="name">Text</div>

Replace "name" with your style names, such as: "normal", "special", "simple", etc. Be creative

.

Nice one guys...

Marc · #15 Oct 25th, 2007, 09:03

Swagner - why do you have these: "" In your css???

Stuart · #16 Oct 25th, 2007, 21:48

Dreamweaver generates them automatically when you use the "Properties" bar to format text. I don't know why. They're not needed, are they?

Marc · #17 Oct 26th, 2007, 09:15

Nope - i dont use them anyway!!

alexgeek · #18 Oct 26th, 2007, 09:52

Maybe because some really old text-based browsers will not understand the style tag and show what's inside unless a comment is there?
