<h1, h2.....> tags - 9/18/2002 13:26:42   

Is there a way to alter the size of <h> tags to other than their default size without using CSS? I' ve tried with no success though I can change the color and font style.

thanks, gail

The only other way is to apply the <font> tag in html which I strongly recommend against. Its a poor design practice and negates the power of the <h> tag.

Why would you want to control them through another way than css? That is the only to properly apply attributes to your <h> tags.

Thanks, p1r,

That was going to be my next question. I understand there is " power" in the <h1> and related tags. Can you explain that power more fully? Also I understand there should only be one <h1> tag on any give page, correct?

Two reasons for the time being.

First, I don' t yet know how to properly create Cascading Style Sheets. Hopefully that is about to change. I' m currently taking a Web Programming course and we begin CSS this week.

Secondly, I' m working on a class assignment which must include the <h1>, <h2>, etc. tags. Other than wanting to make the large <h1> type smaller so the project looks nicer, there is neither rhyme nor reason that I must do so.

Personally, I think the default size and look of the <h1> tag is clunky and ugly. To me, large text on web pages is one of the most frequently used design mistakes made by many aspiring web designers.

I was unaware, though suspected, that changing the look and size of these tags would alter the way a browser interprets them, so I look forward to your response.

As always, thanks.
