layout help Options

[Mulder]

i made a layout, and i've just begun coding it. but basically ive gotten all the hard stuff taken care of. i used <div> tags to put my info somewhere (i dont have modules) but the font wont change. so do i need to put the font into the <div> tag code or make a module...or what?

header html

You did actually put it in the stylesheet, correct? Also, set your font in CLAF to Arial, size 1. The CSS override works better when it's set to that for some reason. Sometimes though... You can't use a font under ten point. You really shouldn't be doing that anyways, but sometimes it doesn't work because size one = 10point font.
