Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks

I am a total novice and I have a question which is probably very obvious to you, but not, alas, to me.

I would like to change the size of the font I use in my CGI-based table.
I have consulted an html book, but as far as I can see, it is impossible to define the size of the font as one of the attributes of the table.

I have the following code:


print table({-width=>"100%",-border=>"0",-bordercolor=>"#d9dae6",-cell
+spacing=>"2",-cellpadding=>"2"},Tr({-bgcolor=>"#97a5f0"},\@rows));

I am guessing that I need to put  font{size=>"2"} somewhere, but where?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

    Hi,

    You missed td() call: 

    print table(
    {-width=>"100%",
     -border=>"0",
     -bordercolor=>"#d9dae6",
     -cellspacing=>"2",
     -cellpadding=>"2"},
    Tr({-bgcolor=>"#97a5f0"},
         td({-class => 'sizetwo'}, \@rows)
      )
  );

    You can also print some style information like this: 
    print <<EOT;
<style type="text/css">
.sizetwo {font-size: large}   
</style>
