Couple of simple problems

Can anyone help with these please?

<img src="BerkleyHomes.jpg"
width="125" height="64"> 
 
Gives me a warning of "in HTML 4.0, FONT is deprecated. It may become
obsolete in future versions, consider using style sheets instead.

 
<img src="CaseStudy.jpg" width="760" height="89"> 
Copyright Dragon Infrastructure Solutions 2004
Gives me a warning that "-7" is not valid for the "size" attribute in any of
the currently active versions.

Suggestions for fixing the above. I realise the first problem may be fixed by
using a style sheet but how do I then amend the present site to remove the
error and add a style sheet!

All help much appreciated.

Regards,

Bob

Font tags are deprecated, but I guarantee that browsers will happily
render them another 20 years. So if you feel uncomfortable starting with
CSS (which you MUST if you're the least serious about web design), you
can use it without worries for the time being.

"-7" means that the size should be 7 notches smaller than the user's
default size which seems a bit steep. Give it a percentage or pixels
size instead.

Hi Bob,
Yes, it is true, the tag is deprecated and should not be used.
You should definitely remove these tags and use a stylesheet to declare your
font style and sizes and link to this stylesheet.

You can remove these by going to Commands > Clean up HTML > specific tags.

You would then either place the styles in the head of your document or link
to an externalised stylesheet - which a much better method btw.

Maybe this site may help a little with getting a stylesheet linked on your
pages:
http://www.mako4css.com/BasSheet.htm

Have a look around the site listed above, there is a lot of good information
there for you.

And you wrote:

| <img src="BerkleyHomes.jpg"
| width="125" height="64">

Not sure why you woud have a font tag around an image anyway - that isn't
needed surely (unless you have some text there that you have cut from your
post :)

Hope this helps some.
