Font Problem

[Tagger2]

Im new to CSS... Really new, but im tired of using html shortcuts and being labled inefficient so Im trying to learn.

I had a piece of text, welcome, in one part of the screen and I wrapped in a <div> and started editing font, color, size in the little css editor corner inside of dreamweaver.

Everytime I test it in the browser it reduces the text size back down to like 12pt font.

Am I going about editing the text's properties the wrong way?

Help. Please.

does the div tag have an id="Layer# " or a class=""

These are important because if it is just an empty <div> tag then the tag is only being used to separate the text.

Take a look at your CSS and if you see:

#Layer1{
}

then the div tag should look like this:

<div id="Layer1">Welcome</div>


if the CSS says:

.name{
}

the the div should look like this:

<div class="name">Welcome </div>


Hope this helps. if not post your html/css here and i'll take a look
