help needed with html

[davehurst]

Hi all,
I could do with a little help with html. I have put h1 and h2 html header text on my site. I know very little about html. What I want to do is change the font, colour and size of the wording. can anyone help? The h1 is "wedding car hire wigan"
The h2 is "Rolls Royce & Daimler DS420"

regards

Re: help needed with html

Dave, - you have to put it like this:

<center><h1> <font face="comic sans ms" color="#12345 size="4"> your text</font></h1></center>

replace with your info - the font you want, color # you want, size you want - obviously your tag - and you don't have to center - I just usually center my headlines - so put that in for you also.

Of course, put this in your html box and place properly on the page.

H2 would be the same - with h2 going in the above where h1 is currently.

Dave,

What color chart are you using. Should be using Hex#, your code should probably be #00008b no dash

I also use this one:

because I can convert the colors easily from the numbers on voda.

Re: help needed with html

Bethers, what do you mean "convert the colours from the numbers on voda" Also some colour changes seem to work and others don't. I want blue 0000ff but it comes up green????????

Re: help needed with html

#0000ff is blue - can you show me where you have the code - so I can see what's happening - or give me here the html you're inserting?

Well, on BV you can select the colors by selecting custom - but you need to know the code to put in to get the correct colors - so if you know the code is 0000ff and you want to select that on BV - go to the page I gave - enter that code and it will give you the properties - which you can use in BV to select it.

(You can't do that in the html - which is why I'm asking to see your html to see if there's an error in your coding).

Re: help needed with html

Hi Bethers, the code i have put in is as follows.
<center><h1> <font face="times new roman" color="#0000ff size="1"> wedding car hire wigan, bolton,st.helens north west</font></h1></center>

If you look on viewing our cars page you can see its green.

Re: help needed with html

It's not doing the color because you left off a quotation mark after the color - here it is with the right color - and size one is really small for a headling - also, you have to have spaces where they belong between commas and words - se's will otherwise read it all as one word -

here is the code correctly done:

<center><h1> <font face="times new roman" color="#0000ff" size="1"> Wedding Car Hire Wigan, Bolton, St. Helens northwest</font></h1></center>
