I am using this html to program my text:<br />
<br />
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif font color="" font size=""><br />
<br />
The problem is, that font size 1 is too small and font size 2 is too large- is there a way to get an in between?<br />
<br />
Thanks.<!--content-->Yep.. use CSS instead of <font>.<br />

CSS fonts (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/font/font-size.html">http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/f ... -size.html</a><!-- m -->)<!--content-->yes, font is now deprecated for css styles, don't worry it's quite easy and will solve your problem, here's how you would do it<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;font-size: 14px; color: #000000;">you text </span> <br />
<br />
that way you have more control over the size<br />
<br />
if you had a lot of different text on your page it would be easier to have a style sheet in which you would write all the css and just call it in with 'class' <br />
<br />
<span class="somename">your text</span><br />

your problem: you have <font font size=""><br />

Older HTML tags and attributes that have been superseded by other more functional or flexible alternatives (whether as HTML or as CSS) are declared as deprecated in HTML4 by the W3C - the consortium that sets the HTML standards. Browsers should continue to support deprecated tags, but eventually these tags are likely to become obsolete and so future support cannot be guaranteed.<!--content-->ah, ok. so eventually the FONT tag will not work at all? its like a gradual decline... soon HTML itself will be obsolete lol...<!--content-->yeah.. morrowvasted.. a bit like the dinosaurs, right ??

Look again, you have three or four errors in that code:<br />
Count the quotes. Only five. One is missing from the end of the face attribute.<br />
The word font is duplicated. You must supply a value for color and size.<br />

I appreciate all the feedback.
