CCS font size problem, (Nightmare)

Hi,

I'm having a problem with a CSS defined font size on www.casajac.org
I have a few links to different language pages on the top right of the
banner. ("English, Nederlands ...)
I had the link styles defined in the main stylesheet casajac.css but I
couldn't size down the font.
Tried deining the font as 2% to see if that would have any visible effect,
but no...
Can't figure out why.
Ended up doing a style-on-the-page with DW.
And even that is not working correctly.
(Click on the "English" then on the "Deutch" link and the font size changes
.... !)

TIA

Spencer

Oh, good ;-)

Usually because the style is overruled by a forgotton style rule
further down the sheet.

Is this:
<!--
..Style5 {font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 70%; }
-->
inside the body the result of that?
And even that is not working correctly.

I see no font size change (Firefox).

You mean http://www.fransysco.net/casajac/index.shtml ?

Start by correcting the errors:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...ac/index.shtml
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/v...usermedium=all

Come back when you've done that and if the problem remains.

Yes. That is the result of doing a style-on-the-page with DW.
I am now at the office and using
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511
Firefox/1.0.4

The font-size problem has disappeared.
The font-size is fine.
Weird.
