HTML: Changing colors of specific words in a string of text
I have the below message (slightly changed):
"Enter the competition by January 30, 2011 and you could win up to $$$$ — including amazing summer trips!"
I currently have:
<p style="font-size:14px; color:#538b01; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;">
formatting the text string, but want to change the color of "January 30, 2011" to #FF0000 and "summer" to #0000A0.
How do I do this strictly with HTML or inline CSS?
Answer
<p style="font-size:14px; color:#538b01; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;">
Enter the competition by
<span style="color: #ff0000">January 30, 2011</span>
and you could win up to $$$$ — including amazing
<span style="color: #0000a0">summer</span>
trips!
</p>
Or you may want to use CSS classes instead:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
p {
font-size:14px;
color:#538b01;
font-weight:bold;
font-style:italic;
}
.date {
color: #ff0000;
}
.season { /* OK, a bit contrived... */
color: #0000a0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>
Enter the competition by
<span class="date">January 30, 2011</span>
and you could win up to $$$$ — including amazing
<span class="season">summer</span>
trips!
