does anyone know how the type style, colors & size can be specified?

If it's a text file, served as text, I don't believe you can. If it's
an HTML file wrapped with <pre... </prethen of course you can
style it.

Whether it's a good idea to do that is another matter.

That link is 404, so I can't tell what you are really trying to do.

However, I know that HTML formatting for a non-HTML TXT file really does
not exist. The display will be formatted according to how the user has
configured his or her browser.

Hi folks, I found this in some pages: <td style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; background-color:#4080A0;font-weight: bold; color: #000000;" class="myclass"> I've never seen both style and class used in the same element. Is the common? Which wins? What happens?

I am implementing a comprehensive image-map generator utility, so have been studying W3C HTML 4.01 Specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/objects.html#h-13.6) on image maps (among other things). I note the document specifies that block level content can be included within a <map>. Testing this in order to discover why one might wish to do this, I find the block level content is rendered in page flow order anyway, and not...

Hi, I'm programming some PHP discussion board that is supposed to appear inside the content area of a proprietary CMS. As I need some more styles than the standard stylesheet provides, I just added a <style> tag inside my HTML code. It works fine in all the browsers I tested, but it seems to be more of a hack than a valid solution.

I'm writing a "tabbed folder" nav bar. Site standards are graphical prettiness, CSS throughout, valid code, but accesibility is ignored where it conflicts with prettiness. The particular issue here is that the graphic designer wants a pretty (non-webbable) font on the shaded nav tabs, so I'm reduced to using bitmaps. To make the 4-way rollovers ("current" and "hover" states) work I'm using the standard "rollerblind" technique with a...

Using the "volatile" keyword, creates a problem if I intend to use any of the interlocked APIs. The compiler generates an error if I use the following line, for example: Interlocked.Increment(ref count); The error says that a volatile field cannot be used as ref or out, but if I don't use the volatile field, the value may be cached away in some method that is just reading the field.

All, I don't know why I always get stuck on the stupid questions... This is pretty straight forward... I want to change the cursor to the hand on a mouse event. This works just fine, if I use other cursors, but for some reason I can't get the cursor:hand to work in Firefox??? <div class="showHideDiv" onmouseover="this.style.cursor='hand'" onclick="showHideDiv('Price')"> Price </div> Thanks in advance. - CES

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
