1) You can't add CSS to font tags
2) Font tag is deprecated. You should only add CSS
3) You can't really vertically center stuff with CSS

thanks for you reply.

you say it i can not really do this.

but how would i vertically center the text, how ever it is done.

this is what i have..

Code: [Select]

#container { padding: 0; width: 100%; text-align: middle; }
#left { float: left; }
.clear { height: 0; font-size: 1px; margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 0; clear: both; }

#div.verticaltext { vertical-align:middle; }


Code: [Select]

<div id="container">
  <div id="left">
   <img src="logo.jpg">
  </div><!-- left -->
  <div id="verticaltext">
      <font size="40pt">Welcome to <?=$sitename;?></font>
  </div><!-- right -->
  <div class="clear"></div>
 </div><!-- container -->

1) Of course you can
2) But, since it is deprecated, I guess you wouldn't be using it anyway
3) Agreed

But, there are ways. Check out here.

just add the vertical align property to the container in which the text is written, this will solve your problem...
