Hiya,

Without using CSS how do I:

1) Set the color of the <hr> bar?

2) Set the default font for the document in the body tag?

3) Set the default font size for the document?

Hard to find anything on the net about using the depricated tags...
everything is CSS out there

Thanks,

Clint

<hr color="salmon">

I think you will have to use the style attribute and put your css in there.

As 2 above.

Thanks

I thought there was an attribute in the <body> tag I could set the default
font for the whole document but apparently not, which would explain why I
couldn't find that<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I think this is what you're looking for:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_basefont.asp" target="_blank">http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_basefont.asp</a>

It's not contained in the body tag but wraps the html until you close the
tag. Depreciated in html 4.01

Yeah that might have worked... I just put everything in a <body><font
face='arial'> ... </font></body>

And yeah, these tags are depricated... but this email2fax driver I am using
to send out online orders renders the HTML file into a TIFF image and
doesn't recognize CSS so I have to use all this ancient HTML stuff that I
forgot years ago<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
