RE: frontpage shared borders - 9/8/2004 17:01:56
sorry but that doesn't work. I pasted it into a styles sheet page into frontpage, I'm sure I did everything right. When I previewed the page it just took me to the text of the style sheet (it wouldn't actually activate it.)
I pasted it into a style sheet page, saved it, then went to Format, style sheet links, and added it to all pages. I don't know why it wasn't working.
Thanks for doing the code anyways.

or try
body,p,td,ol,ul,div {
font-family: "Century Gothic", "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}
you are using a browser to preview the changes?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I guess your style sheets worked, but they didn't solve the problem. Thanks anyways though.
Same problem, really, REALLY annoying. My default font is century gothic, but it displays times. I'm going to cry now.

a url sure would be a lot easier to comment on than guessing how your page might be coded - post a link to a page and then we can help further

RE: frontpage shared borders - 9/11/2004 21:40:55
I think I know what the problem is with my default text not working- bloated HTML. This is just a hunch.
I think what is happening is that Frontpage set the default font as Century Gothic, and on Frontpage it displays it as century gothic. However when the bloated HTML of frontpage actually communicates with the browser, it sets it to times for some reason. Of course I don't know why no one else seems to have any of these problems!
I think I want to try a cascading style sheet- Daves first one didn't work out. Anyone else? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

RE: frontpage shared borders - 9/12/2004 4:33:17
well if for example you set the text temporarily to black you see how it changes the text on the page
body, p, td, ol, ul, div {
font-family: "Century Gothic", "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color:black
}
so i think you have not named century gothic correctly otherwise it would work. oh just installed the century gothic family (the filename in your windows font folder is gothic.ttf) and the italic, bold and bold italic version and i can see them on your web page... have you checked to see that you have the fonts installed correctly?
oh and use this instead, i didn't remember that century gothic was sans serif
body, p, td, ol, ul, div {
font-family: "Century Gothic", Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
it does work, at least in my browser. try changing the colour first and you'll see which text is affected. you may need to rip out those font tags as well.
i can see century gothic in IE and firefox, but not in opera
you sure have got a lot of nasty frontpage stuff in there ;)

I seemed to have fixed the problem before your last post. I took the second set of code you gave me from a few posts ago, and took out the times new roman, so it reads
body, p, td, ol, ul, div {
font-family: "Century Gothic";
}
That seems to be working for now.
Thanks for all of your help.
Oh, and something else. I was researching for various Frontpage help websites and I found this large ring of sites that includes "Frontpage talk", another large Frontpage forum. Anyways, the guy who hosts that forum offers this product- I forget what it's called- but it will clean up all the HTML in frontpage. It costs 47 bucks and he says that complete satisfatction is guaranteed. Of course I'm not thinking about using it, I just wanted to show it to you guys.
heres the link http://www.frontpagepoweredit.com/

Nope, style sheet is not working! I'll try out the other suggestions.
New problems! This one's really driving me insane. I push the "tab" button to indent, and frontpage takes me to the bottom of the page instead of indenting five pages. What??
Also I've been having numerous errors in uploading my site into my host's server. I know that its probably a problem at my end. I always get an error reading "could not connect to chumscomic.com at port 80, reset your proxy settings." This one has been REALLY buggint the crap out of me. What should I do??
Well I tried your one style sheet that set the text to black. It set all of the text to black that was currently displaying in century gothic. But when I go to a new page and type, it is not effected. Why is this?

Whenever I try to hit tab to indent while typing in a table, frontpage tabs to the bottom of the table. can I get around this? And I'm sick of my century gothic not working.

what makes you think tab indents in Front Page? did you try help and search for indent?

Because tab DOES indent in frontpage, just not in a TABLE.

you should use css to set padding on elements that you want to indent.
have you removed all the junk in the code and font tags? your century gothic should work then
