here's a nice 'n' easy CSS place

edited to make sense - the link you want is in the menu frame on the left when you get there.

Whew! Just when I think I've got this stuff down, I find out how much I have to learn.

I don't know ANYthing about CSS.
Any tips on links to learn what I need to get a grasp on it?

I got a little of what you were saying, but without the CSS piece, I'm afraid it's clear as mud right now.

Much appreciated.

You can't change the font that way because it is a nesting error -- the font tag doesn't fit in that container -- you are trying to put your fridge in your oranges, if you know what I mean.

With CSS, you can add class="smaller" to every td tag that you want to have smaller, or if all tables everywhere are going to be smaller, simply add this to your head tag on every page...

table, tr, td {font-size: smaller;}

-->
</style>

or! learn how to create a global stylesheet and do it once and add only this to every page...

Global stylesheets are the best for standard stuff -- like font colours, sizes, background images, that sort of thing, then local style sheets (the first option) for tweaks to specific pages, items that are only for a specific page like positioning, things that are only on one page and are repeated -- like if you have ONE table on ONE page that needs to be smaller. Inline style sheets would be if on the site, on the page, one cell, one tag needs to be different -- then you can do this:

Got it?!

I'd like to reduce the font size in my tables, here: http://2kcut.com/cold-steel2.shtml

but found that this code does not work:

<TR VALIGN="bottom">
<TD ALIGN="left">Item #</TD>
<TD ALIGN="left">Description</TD>
<TD ALIGN="right">Your Price</TD>
<TD ALIGN="left">Click to Order</TD>
</TR>

will i have to put the font tag in EVERY <TD> tag? please don't say it's so.

and can you please tell me how to reduce the size of the "Click to Order" column?

thanks..
