Making bullets in a table trouble - Overclock.net

blade007 · 08-12-07

Everytime I make bullets inside a table the font changes. I do have a class set for the table, why do the text that become bulleted change font. Here is an example of one..

Code:

<table class="table1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>We offer shipping WORLDWIDE via Canada Post and UPS. Shipping costs will be paid by the buyer, and will be added to the invoice during checkout.</td></tr><tr><td> 
<ul>
<li>Shipping insurance is optional
<li>Delivery times are in business days
<li>Shipping rates also include handling and are non-negotiable
<li>Delivery times does not include customs delays or stat-holidays
<li>We are not liable for any customs-related charges that your country may impose
<li>Please allow up to 1-2 days after payment is received for your order to be processed before shipment
</li></ul>
</td></tr></table>

I inputted that code into notepad, and saved as .html, checked it, and the font stayed the same for me.

Try putting <font face="Times New Roman"> ( above where it says <table class etc etc ) to the start of the code, and </font> at the bottom. (below everything)

this is my CSS reference to the table, do i have to make a seperate one for ul?

Code:

.table1 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; width:100%; }

Ok, Sorry to ignore your last post, but its been so long since I used html coding, and I dont ever remember making a reference table

...

I tried this:

<table class="table1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>We offer shipping WORLDWIDE via Canada Post and UPS. Shipping costs will be paid by the buyer, and will be added to the invoice during checkout.</td></tr><tr><td>
<ul>
<font face="Comic Sans MS">
<li>Shipping insurance is optional
<li>Delivery times are in business days
<li>Shipping rates also include handling and are non-negotiable
<li>Delivery times does not include customs delays or stat-holidays
<li>We are not liable for any customs-related charges that your country may impose
<li>Please allow up to 1-2 days after payment is received for your order to be processed before shipment
</li></ul>
</td></tr></table>
</font>

and it worked fine.

(bold is simply what i added, dont make them bold)

Try putting in different fonts where it says comic sans ms, see if that helps ya

basically that will tell that string of code to be that specific font. IIRC.

i put this right before <ul>

Code:

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">

but the text was still slightly different from the CSS definition; doesnt 12px mean 2 in HTML, or am i wrong
