How do I select a smaller font for a table on a web page in PHP. I have a site (localhost currently) that displays records of a logbook and I have limited the output to 20 rows per page but the font is standard. How do I make the font in the table smaller so that I can get 25 lines onto the screen without having to scroll.
Thanks
I recommend using CSS to style your output after PHP prints the records to the table. For instance, look at the following code:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
td {
line-height: 15px;
color: #cccccc;
font:11px verdana, arial;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>The Cell Text</td>
<td>The Second Cell Text</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>This will change all text inside the "TD" element to a size 11px font (and change the line height etc..)
Many thanks. I will try this out this afternoon.
BY the way, you have a fantastic site and I have learnt huge amounts from this site. One last question. Will this work on Linux as I do not use windows?
Kind regards
