The FONT tag's can effect several different aspects of the text you place between them.

However, you will need to include what type of font you want displayed. You do this by assigning it an

COLOR is an Attribute, as is SIZE.

Every single attribute must have a value. The value would be what color or size you want your text to be.

Check out this example then we'll talk about it.

In this example, FONT is the tag name, COLOR is the attribute, and RED is the value of that attribute.

You could just as easily use blue or yellow or green as the value of your color attribute. If you want a fairly basic color, you can use it's name; But if you're looking for a real off the wall color like Burlywood Brown...Well, that's another matter altogether. In that case you'll need to use it's HEXADECIMAL name.

Here are the hexidecimal codes for some of the more common colors:

You can use the hexidecimal code in place of the color's name in your font tag like this:

Use the size attribute just like the font color attribute, by inserting it into your opening font tag

When an HTML tag accepts attributes, like the font tag does, you can put all of it's attributes in the same tag. So in our font tag we can put both the size and color attributes like this:

There are seven font sizes you can use with 7 being the largest and 1 being the teensiest.

Font Face

You can also display your text in different font styles by inserting

<FONT FACE=ARIAL> YOUR TEXT</FONT>

or altogether like this:

<FONT SIZE=5 COLOR=#FF0000 FACE=ARIAL>

 

Times New Roman

Courier

Arial

Verdana

Comic

To display: Happy National Day Everyone!!!

The code will read: <font size=4 color=#0000FF face=Verdana>Happy National Day Everyone!!!</b></font>
