Small caps won’t work

Hi

I’m going mad here. My HTML file contains this:

    <td class=

You’re in the correct forum… it’s CSS, and that’s decidedly a web design thing.

It’s possible that your chosen font does not support small caps, although I’ve never heard of such a thing. Have you tried alternate fonts to see if they render properly? And which browser platforms have you tested this in/on?

I did a quick test with your exact code. Oddly, it renders perfect SmallCaps outside of the table. There’s something unique (odd) about that style working inside the table cell. I didn’t have time to play around with assigning the style to the TD class… You may want to try that.

Hi Mark

Yes, I’m getting the same results. Curiously (apparently) identical code is working in other documents, which proves it’s not the platform and (I think) not the font. But obviously there IS a difference.

During the weekend (it’s nearly 5pm on a Friday here in New Zealand) I’ll try stripping one of the “working” documents down to the bare essentials and see if I can get to the bottom of it.

PS: I just discover that inadvertently clicking the Escape key deletes everything you’ve patiently entered into the WOPR message box.  It’s definitely Friday.

Thanks

Late in the day, but time zones have got in the way, you can do it this way:

small caps with css

small caps without css

using this as your style sheet:

td{ font-family : “Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif”;}

td.caps {
font-variant: small-caps
}

Obviously use the names you prefer but these are my preferred shortened descriptors.

I’ve finally found the problem. Look carefully at the following code and spot the offending characters:

        
            <td class=

Oy, all the quotes look the same to me here, but that would certainly do it! Glad you found the problem.

Oh geez! That’s what I get for copying and pasting into my test example…

Glad you got it fixed.
