CSS/Font Problems

Problem
Even though I change the font size for home.html, it doesn't change and show up in the index.php file.

I made the size 12pt to begin with and realized its too big, so I lowered it down to 8pt or so using the internal stylesheet. I refreshed the index.php file a few times as well as clearing my cache/cookies and still nothing. The message takes up 2 lines whereas it should take up only 1 line with the size 8pt font.

Does anyone know whats wrong?

Ahh mate, what a mess!

2 body tags, 2 html tags, tables and spacers everywhere... Sort your HTML out before worrying about anything else.

Well, first it would help to put your text into a paragraph.

Code:

<center><p>Hello and welcome to Desi Hi-Life. 
This site is currently under construction, please check 
back later for info and updates.</p>

Then in your CSS file put the following:

Code:

P {
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; 
	font-size: 9pt;
	color: #FFFFFF;
}

Change as needed in the CSS and you should be fine. Remember this will affect all paragraphs in the HTML document. If you want to change one or two from the default again use the CSS sheet and add a new class that you can identify special paragraphs with.

The <FONT> attribute is being depreciated and so it's best to stay away from it if at all possible.

Edit: I agree with Seen.To the code needs to be fixed up. Spacers are aweful...
