UGH! - can't get font bigger in Form

[Sawa Dee SohL]

This is the code I have on the line:

 $formpurpose = "We suggest submitting more then one game to be a Resident Expert in, just in case you do not get the game you initially wanted.

The page views like THIS

And I actually want the entire text, in the box to be a few sizes bigger - but I only used the first line as the example.

I've tried <font size="+1"> </font> - no avail

Suggestions?

That entire text is passed in a variable? You might want to just use a phrase. But, anyway, don't use font, it's deprecated. Use css. You can add it in the <td> tag - <td style="font-size: 14pt;">.

Would that be in the Hack/Mod itself? I'm using the Form Hack to do this.

This is the entire set up I have for the text on my site, all the text that's in here, is what we were trying to get larger.

$formpurpose = "We suggest submitting more then one game to be a Resident Expert in, just in case you do not get the game you initially wanted.

<strong>~ Must have the following~</strong>
<br />
<br />
<br />
* Must have atleast 85 XP and 100 posts.
<br />
 <em> -If no Resident Expert on the game and you have less XP, you MAY be accepted , but know that you have to prove your position, so you do not lose it to someone higher. </em>
<br />
<br />
* Must have at least 1 Submissions, submitted about the game you are requesting your  Residential Expertise for. This can be 1 Review, or 1 Guide/FAQ. The more submissions you have, the better chance you have at becoming a Resident Expert on that game.

Would I just add <td style="font-size: 14pt;"> to the front, and </fontsize> at the end?

You didn't say it was the Form Hack. I thought it was a page you wrote. There is a <td> tag in the page just before the text. I was suggesting you add it there. I don't know where that <td> tag is in the code. You really should be asking this question in the Modification Thread.

Ah ok. I didn't think it would have anything do with the hack since it's the content inside the hack (the text) - is interchangeable with Italics,bold, and underlines. So I figured since that was possible, so was making the text bigger. I'll see if I can get a response on the Hack.

[Lynne]

Well, you could add a span tag into there, but I don't think that's the best way. Also, consider that if you make the text larger, it's going to be a much longer page and people may not like that since you also have a ton of line breaks in there.

[Sawa Dee SohL]

Very true - I hated having all the line breaks, I didn't realize I had 3 in between some of 'em.

I'ma see if I can get the font size of the questions / functions (that are there by default) - to change as well, I believe that'll help if I make the others bigger, since those fonts are pretty big already and could use some reducing.
