Getting in a muddle trying to change font size

[Luddite]

Hi - I'm trying to decrease the font size on my section tree/list - I thought I had to do this via actinic.css, as shown in the thread below:
http://community.actinic.com/showthr...ight=font+size
.....but I can't seem to make it work.
Basically, if this is the right file that I need to edit, I need to know what I have to do next. I've attached a screenshot so you can see what i'm looking at.

I might be completely barking up the wrong tree - however, so that you know what i'm trying to achieve, the section tree on www.dinkybox.com is pretty much the font size i'm looking for.

Yours, muddled....

Hi Nick,

if you view both sites in FireFox they are the same size font.. under IE they are different sizes... how are the font sizes being specified in the CSS file? points, pixels, ems etc?

At the moment under FF I would not be inclined to reduce the font size but certainly look at the units

If you do want to tinker with the sizes, colours and spacings etc then edit the Act_Primary.html template and towards the top look for the script starting

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function YahooSections(ar).............

and there you can individually change the sizes etc for the main sections and also the child sections

OK - I've found the relevant bit in act_primary.html - i'm abit confused as it already says the text size is actxxsmall, and I can't see how I can make it smaller than that. Also, which code do I need to manipulate to reduce the spacings between section headings?

Hi there

im abit confused as it alread says the text size is actxxsmall, and I can't see how I can make it smaller than that

So you could change the following:

    strIDs += '<a href="' + ar[i].sURL + '"><span class="actxxsmall"><b><font color="NETQUOTEVAR:FGCOLORCSS">' + ar[i].sName + '</font></b></span></a><br>';

to

    strIDs += '<a href="' + ar[i].sURL + '"><b><font color="NETQUOTEVAR:FGCOLORCSS" size="-1">' + ar[i].sName + '</font></b></a><br>';

You could always use font size instead of span class

Also, which code do I need to manipulate to reduce the spacings between section headings?

Delete the following line

 strIDs += '<br>'

Kind Regards

Thanks so much Nadeem - I've changed the sub section font sizes, and had removed the spaces but subsequently put them back in again as I didn't like how it looked. Is there a way I can reduce the space, rather than remove it completely?
Thanks - Nick

Your best bet will possibly be to specify a style sheet reference using line-height and adding that into the above codes you have been tweaking

Style sheets are something I have no knowledge of i'm afraid, so for the time being I may just have to leave it as is - its not high on the 'to do' list, but if there was a quick fix.......
