Javascript variables in html tags
Consider the following...
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
var sFontFace = "arial narrow";
var sFontSize = "8";
</SCRIPT>
<FONT FACE=&{sFontFace}; SIZE=&{sFontSize};>
Hello World!
</FONT>
The above prints Hello World! in some other font other than "arial narrow".
Ideas anyone? This "technique" was referenced on the Netscape site, but
doesn't appear to work on MSIE. Is anyone *really* surprised about this? The
goal here is to make a single assignment to variables that will contain the
font faces and point size, then reference those variables w/in the html,
making maintenance easier.

Re: Javascript variables in html tags
Hi Patrick,
I have found that encapsulating your font preferences in Style sheets(CSS)
makes life easier.
With CSS, u can define a Class & then include it in ur HTML.
For eg:-
<html>
<head>
<LINK REL=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css" SRC="/includes/Styles.css">
<style type="text/css">
<!--
@import "Styles.css";
.GreenBg
{
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #e0e0c2;
COLOR: black;
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial;
FONT-SIZE: 8pt
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
U can make ur text look green 
<table>
<tr>
<td Class="GreenBg">
Hello World!!!
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
