Font size in css - html

I just want to make my text bigger. I tried em, px,% and pt, but it's still one size. What's wrong?
UPD:
Thanks everybody, but I don't need your help anymore. I did it. Also I can't delete this question.
body {
font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 2em;
color: #717171;
}
a {
color: #3298BA;
}
a:hover {
color: #D62C88;
text-decoration: none;
}

Your CSS is correct. It is working just fine. Here is your code. Which one I tested.

Change to:
body {
font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 2em !important;
color: #717171;
}
It's not the best solution, but given what we're presented with it's the only way I can think of solving the issue.

why background image not showing but if I put background color it's working?

I use smint 3.0 for my webpage and I want to put some background picture but it doesn't work with pictures only with colors. I've tried with different pictures.
body {
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
color: #e5e5e5;
font-size: 12px;
background-image: url("pictures/background.jpg");
}
This seems to be working, but you haven't supplied much detail of your problem.
I added your code to a fiddle and included the smint 3.0 and jquery, and a background image shows up okay.
body {
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
color: #e5e5e5;
font-size: 12px;
background-image: url("http://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/img/img-wallpapers-windows-vista-editions-bg-pack-vaca-13740.jpg");
}

How to stop a:link from being applied to all links

I have the following css that is used to make one link coloured but it applies to all of the links I have. Is there any way to stop this.
This is my css that is getting applied to the links:
a:visited {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #F00;
display: block;
border-radius: 5px;
z-index:10;
}
a:link {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
background-color:#F00;
display: block;
border-radius: 5px;
z-index:10;
}
a:hover {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
color: #CCC;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #C00;
display: block;
border-radius: 5px;
z-index:10;
}
This is the link that it is suppose to get applied to:
<td>Food</td>
This is the link that I don’t want it to get applied to:
<td class="footer"><b>Top Attractions</b>
You could select your a tag by the href like this:
JSFiddle - DEMO
a[href="Food.html"] {
color: red;
}
Updated: DEMO (with your codes)
Working JSfiddle: demo
I gave the link you wanted to style a class and gave the class a style.
a.food :visited
instead of a:visited
Try this
HTML
<td><a href="Food.html" class="colored>Food</a></td>
CSS
.colored{
color:red;
}
One thing you could do, would be to give the tag an id/class and then refer to that in your css.
You could add a class to the link you want different and style it separately.
HTML:
<td class="footer"><b>Top Attractions</b>
CSS:
a.rides {...}
Apply a class to the links you want to effect:
<a href='food.html' class='apply_to_this'>Food</a>
Then in your CSS:
a:link.apply_to_this{
// your styles
}
You can add a class to the links you wan't to apply this rule, or you can use this rule :
a:not(.footer):link {...}
Rather than stopping it being applied to one link, you need to add a class to that link with additional CSS that overrides the styles you want to change, or (though this is bad practice...) use inline styles on that one link.
Proper solution:
In your CSS
.exception {put css here that will override the general link css, using !important to override it ifnecessary}
In your html
Content here
Quick and dirty solution
Content
Though this way will work, it is rightly frowned upon for accessibility issues.
You can just create a class and apply it to that link like mentioned above or you can just follow through your selectors to tell CSS to apply that link code to only a:links within those selectors like I've posted below:
#mainContainer #footer #etc #etc a:link {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
background-color:#F00;
display: block;
border-radius: 5px;
z-index:10;
}
PS - Inline styles are very bad practice. It adds tons of extra code that will reduce your rankings for Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. Not to mention it makes code harder to read and more clunky.

basic css font-weight property not working

My html:
<div id="unsurpassed">
<p>
<span>FIRE </span>| Unsurpassed Efficacy
</p>
</div>
My CSS:
#unsurpassed {
margin-top: 20px;
font-size: 32px;
font-family: "Myriad Pro";
}
#unsurpassed p {
color: #77787B;
font-weight: 300;
}
#unsurpassed span {
color: #1D74B6;
font-weight: 400;
}
I want the phrase "| Unsurpassed Efficacy" to have a much lighter weight that "FIRE" currently that isn't happening, not really sure why.
Try using normal and bold for font-weight instead of numbers.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/8rHbv/2/
CSS:
#unsurpassed {
margin-top: 20px;
font-size: 32px;
font-family:"Myriad Pro";
}
#unsurpassed p {
color: #77787B;
font-weight: normal;
}
#unsurpassed span {
color: #1D74B6;
font-weight: bold;
}
Use bolder or bold value along with 300 or 400 value and check this work perfect...
#unsurpassed {
margin-top: 20px;
font-size: 32px;
font-family: "Myriad Pro";
}
#unsurpassed p {
color: #77787B;
font-weight: bolder !important;
}
#unsurpassed span {
color: #1D74B6;
font-weight: 400;
}
Also use important word.
Check this DEMO jsFiddle
Do you have all the font weights installed on your computer?
Try add important! after your css code here:
#unsurpassed {
margin-top: 20px;
font-size: 32px;
font-family: "Myriad Pro";
}
#unsurpassed p {
color: #77787B;
font-weight: 300;
}
#unsurpassed p span {
color: #1D74B6;
font-weight: 900 !important;
}
Take a look at this jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/GeUj3/1/
What you are using is valid CSS and should work if the system contains both regular and light typeface of Myriad Pro. Most computers do not contain either of them; this is a different topic, but may affect the analysis of this problem, since you might be looking at the rendering in some other font (the browser’s fallback font) if Myriad Pro is not available.
I cannot test the exact code since my system lacks Myriad Pro, but testing with DejaVu Sans instead, with no other change to the code, on Win 7, I noticed that IE 11 shows “| Unsurpassed Efficacy” in DejaVu Sans Light but Chrome and Firefox use DejaVu Sans (regular) instead, even though developer tools show that the CSS rules are being applied. You may have encountered a similar browser problem.
In general, typefaces lighter than normal (400) often work poorly even in modern browsers. A workaround is to use a light typeface as if it were a font family, with normal font-weight. This works on the browsers tested for DejaVu Sans.
So the following may work in your situation: in the rule for #unsurpassed p, replace font-weight: 300 by font-family: "Myriad Pro Light".
You are visually not going to notice a difference between font-weight 300 and 400
You can do something like this
#unsurpassed {
margin-top: 20px;
font-size: 32px;
font-family: "Myriad Pro";
}
#unsurpassed p span {
color: #1D74B6;
font-weight:bold;
}
#unsurpassed p {
color: #77787B;
}
You can check the different font weights here
Its because your not putting the class IDs in your html, if you don't then the CSS does not know what to do.. and you cant conflict the class id elements.
<div class="unsurpassed">
<p>
<span class="unsurpassed span">FIRE </span><span class="unsurpassed p">| Unsurpassed Efficacy<span>
</p>
</div>
Remember that css class elements are global, so label were you want the css to work in the proper place and don't have then conflict.

square bullet list wrong font size with body css

I have a list in my sidemenu, the settings don't seem to read past the css of the .body class in stylesheet -
ul.develop
{
list-style-type:square;
color: #FFF;
margin:0;
padding:0;
margin-top:0.6cm;
}
li.develop
{
font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: normal;
color:#fff;
}
My body class is -
body {
font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: normal;
}
The list then is defaulting to body class 12px, if I change body to 11px, the list is fine but I want to keep 12px for actual body of main content of copy on site.
I tried using !important but unsure that is correct?
Thanks
I think you may have .develop on ul not li, try putting your font rules on the ul.develop rule as they will apply to the li's underneath.
ul.develop
{
list-style-type:square;
color: #FFF;
margin:0;
padding:0;
margin-top:0.6cm;
font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: normal;
}
Put your 'body' related CSS above/ before the other styles. It reads it top down. Hope that works!

Equal the value of a CSS property based on another property

I have in my CSS:
body
{
font-size: 0.87em;
font-family: Calibri, Arial, Georgia, Verdana, Tahoma, Microsoft Sans Serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #666666;
}
a:link
{
color: rgb(124,71,111);
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:visited
{
color: rgb(41, 12, 36);
}
a:hover
{
color: rgb(91,25,79);
text-decoration: none;
}
a:active
{
color: #AB6D9C;
}
the question is to the latter tag ".remove-linkcolor"
.remove-linkcolor
{
}
I would like the links to 'a' that is associated with the class '.remove-linkcolor' the following attributes are changed:
The color is the same color of normal text
How to avoid duplication of code and put the same color of another tag?
Remove effects of active, hover normally would, but to continue as a link, so if you click the User, the same is executed.
Not sure I understand your question 2. However, I think this is the answer you need:
The only way to remove duplication of code in CSS is through combined selectors, something like:
body {
font-size: 0.87em;
font-family: Calibri, Arial, Georgia, Verdana, Tahoma, Microsoft Sans Serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body, .remove-linkcolor {
color: #666666;
}
But then you end up repeating the selector, often. The only other way is not to do CSS: use SASS or similar CSS compiler.
