I created my web page in dreamweaver,suprising thing is that everything i write appears bolded.
i checked well and discovered this code at the top of my page is causing the problem,which is been inserted by Dreamweaver its self when i started my page.
So i dont know what is the importance of the code or should i just remove it,or it has a specific meaning.
what should i do to unbold the fonts.
here is the code causing the problem

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

All that code does is tell the browser to use XHTML, it has nothing to do with the actual formatting of the page. More than likely you have a misplaced <b> tag in your code somewhere.

Hmm, that all looks ok. Try opening the css/styles.css file and checking it. In particular, check the entry for body, and see if bold has been applied to its style.

As you are using xhtml so, text inside th tags will be bold.
use

th {

	border-left: none;
	border-right: none;
	font-size: smaller;
}

OR

try to avoid th tags

Member Avatar for darkagn

@arinkverma: th tags are only used for column headings in a table, so they probably should be bold.

@mrniceguy: sorry I am out of ideas, maybe someone else with a bit more knowledge of dreamweaver can help you.

Member Avatar for mrcniceguy

the problem was with the th tags,because after i applied as
@arinkverma: suggested only i added font-weight:normal;
and everything went worked.

th {
 
	border-left: none;
	border-right: none;
	font-size: smaller;
font-weight:normal;
}

Thankx very much For your Contributions.

Member Avatar for darkagn

So does dreamweaver put the entire page into one big table when it generates the HTML? I just was wanting to understand exactly why this has worked for you as I will soon be using DW to create a website and have never used the tool before.

Member Avatar for mrcniceguy

When dreamweaver create a table it combines the <th> tags and the <td> together.
thats why i were unable to realize the problem.
