I am trying to change the size of my font on my website. I have a CSS file with which all the pages are linked to.

How do i change the font size and what is the unit for font size?

Oh, right - sorry. Wrong end of the stick!

Ha, I thought you were making that point that Tim said at first but then I noticed when I looked at it again!

Maybe everyone's just used to you having a go at them Tyla?

:cp

Ah - didn't know that. I'll be updating my CSS files too, then. Cheers!

is a depricated TAG and really should be avoided. It also renders incorrectly in v4 browsers treating it as a block element as opposed to inline. If you insist on using in your CSS file add:

span {display:inline;}

I just use tags, useful if you need to use multiple fonts/colours.

thank you for your help

10pt = 12px = 0.8em = x-small

body {...} doesn't work for table content in NN4 so make it

body, td {...}

body { font-size: 10pt }

... or replace the '10' with whatever size you want.

or anything like that. And i wish to change all the text on my site.
