[Pro] HTML Type Not Rendering Properly

Freeway
1

Hi Gang –

I’ve updated a page on my site using Pro 6.1 and some of the type in the HTML boxes won’t render properly.

I’ve set the type as Helvetica 12 pt., but on the box in the upper right hand side, you’ll see it keeps defaulting to Times.

Any thoughts on what’s causing this?

Thanks,
Jamie

Not seeing that at all

I do see style7 applied to some of the text (font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;) but the rest is an unstyled (font-wise) P tag

Hi Jamie,

there are a couple of things that I would think about:

  1. Set the p-Tag (Paragraph in styles with the parameters of styles7) or even create a body-Tag or maybe both and set there your basic FONT properties you’d like to see (style7+style65 or whatever).

The trick here:

Even not styled, each paragraph initially takes nothing else then your chosen FONT.

Delete those named styles afterwards.

THE MENU

I recommend (and never get tired to do) to make a proper CSS menu using the action instead of this map-stuff (that I anyway never understood). Especially in your case it shouldn’t be an affair to build this in minutes.

THE ITEMANIA

Start to think about naming items. It is not required but a lil’ bit of semantic doesn’t hurt.

That’s what I saw so far.

Cheers

Definitely use a new style named body for this trick. Using the p tag explicitly will doom you to an arms-race of creating h1 and h3 and ul and li and whatever other tag you decide to use versions of this base rule. Adding a font to the body tag will cascade that font choice across all text elements on your page. At the same time, this will be a gentle suggestion – not an absolute rule that a more-specific rule will have trouble overriding. So if you decide to make your headers in Georgia, you can create a rule for that without a lot of hassle.

Thanks, guys. A lot to digest here. I’ll review this and let you know if I have any other questions.

Hi Walt, Dave and Thomas –

Thanks for all your help with the stream above. Much appreciated.

Would it be possible for one of you to dumb your comments down for me? I’ve read and re-read what you wrote, but am still unsure of what my next steps are.

Just today, I started from scratch with a page on my site and am still having problems. You can see it here:

On the right-hand side, you’ll see the text is still not rendering correctly.

Here’s what I did:

  1. Created a Graphic Box as a border
  2. Created another Graphic Box where I wrote “What Others Are Saying”
  3. Created an HTML box where I wrote the type

I’m still having the problem. Any thoughts on what I’ve done wrong?

Thanks,
Jamie
