Can I make text look good using CSS in Tables?
I’m new to CSS. Thank you.
Thank you Ryan! 
Thanks everyone!
Yes, I do have to clean up those body tags. A validator would help me right? Of course it would.
Certainly you can. But what specifically do you want to do?
Of course you can! Just like you already do in other elements. 
But I think it would be better to start with correcting the erroneous body tags previously mentioned, or is the online page just not updated?

Mind me asking what size you think the text font should be? I have it as 14 pixels in CSS.
That looks OK to me. Most people have text too small for my liking.
Thanks. But when I open it up in IE it is huge. Then I do control - and it gets better. Yet both times IE is at 100%
Never use pixel fonts. IE doesn’t allow for text resizing of pixels (not even IE8)
Use em’s or %'s (they are the same, the only difference is the decimal place ;))
Thanks. What does em’s do again?
And what % should I have my fonts at to make the page look professional?
Okay I made the fonts 80%. The fonts look okay in IE but too small in Fireworks and Google Chrome. Is this a problem I will always run into? Is there a remedy for this?
Thanks
One more question.
Why is Dreamweaver putting c3 next to the class names I created? I created a css bodytext for <p class=“bodytext”> but its putting a <p class=“bodytext c3”> in.
I am taking the c3 out. I’m kind of lost.
Thanks again.
Ems allow for text resize. They are basically the same as percentage.
Don’t base it off of fireworks…that isn’t a browser.
IE/Chrome are different? Any other browsers? Normally font sizes are pretty consistant so something else is at work
Interesting.
Why isn’t Fireworks a browser?
And doesn’t Ems also give a space around a jpeg or gif? I thought I remember seeing that on a video tutorial.
Fireworks…is a program…not a browser…that’s just common knowledge lol.
Why would ems give space around an image? Nope :). Wherever you think you saw that, that is wrong
