How do I look up the attributes for the font tag?

I have a anchor tag (<a...) and the text shows up dark.
When I place the cursor (in IE) over it it brightens.

I'd like it to be bright always and placed a font tag around it but when I
looked at help to see if there was an appropriate attribute I couldn't find
the help for the font tag! I used Filtered by Web Development.
Two questions:

1) Can I lighten the text?

2)How do I look up the attributes for the font tag?

Thanks

The font tag is AFAIK deprecated (and anyway won't do what you are looking
for). I would do this using CSS.

Try :

(scroll to the end for the response).

Read up about CSS, in particular by using the appropriate CSS rule you could
even do this once for all your site pages without any further action...

Hi,
you have style attribute ... and under style you can set font ...

<a style="font-size:large; font-family:Tahoma;"></a>

okay...

you perhaps you can set styles in css class and use the class in your
link

BEST OF LUCK
