Chimpanzee Posts: 3 Joined: 5/22/2005 Status: offline	Body text size problem - 5/25/2005 18:02:56 I am new to CSS. I am using external style sheets to make my site more accesible by letting users increase the font size. I have made a new CSS file and changed font size values to make them larger. I have changed the sizes of my headers and other tags and these work fine but i cannot get the body size to change. i've tried all of these tags: body { font-family: Trebuchet MS; color: #2E2E2E; font-size: 16pt } body { font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: 16pt; color: #2E2E2E } body { font-size: 16pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS; color: #2E2E2E } i've tried changing the font-family and color attributes and these work. i just cannot figure out what's wrong. any suggestions.... PLEASE????????
