increase font size of hyperlink text html

Question

I am working on web application where I have taken href. But the default font of it is too small when comparing to the page. So I want to increase the size of the font.

My output page look like below:

I have tried by font size for anchor tag but it doesn't show any effect after the font tag.

Code I have tried is:

<font size="100px"><a href="selectTopic?html" style="text-decoration: none">HTML 5</a></font>

So how can I change the font size?

Answer 1

Your font tag is not correct, so it won't work in some browsers. The px unit is used with CSS, not HTML attributes. The font tag should look like this:

<font size="100">

Well, actually it shouldn't be there at all. The font tag is deprecated, you should use CSS to style the content, like you do already with the text-decoration:

<a href="selectTopic?html" style="font-size: 100px; text-decoration: none">HTML 5</a>

To separate the content from the styling, you should of course work towards putting the CSS in a style sheet rather than as inline style attributes. That way you can apply one style to several elements without having to put the same style attribute in all of them.

Example:

<a href="selectTopic?html" class="topic">HTML 5</a>

CSS:

.topic { font-size: 100px; text-decoration: none; }

Answer 2

You can do like this:

a {font-size: 100px}

Try avoid using font tag because it's deprecated. Use CSS like above instead. You can give your anchors specific class and apply any style for them.

Answer 3

you can add class in anchor tag also like below

.a_class {font-size: 100px} 

Answer 4

There is a way simpler way. You put the href in a paragraph just created for that href. For example:

HREF name
