font tags wont stay!!!

each time i reopen a page in composer, the [font] tags (and their respectives [/font]s) around form elements seem to disappear!!! i use them to keep the form elements (drop downs and text boxes) small... is there any other way of doing that???

[p align="justify"] - this particular tag also seems to disappear like the above...

any ideas ppls???

PS - i had to use [ ] s instead of angular brackets 'coz the ubb parser was shabby!!!

Stop using composer. It sucks arse. You have too many other choices to list. Use one of them.

are u suggesting i use frontpage and end up with pages that are ridiculously cross browser non compatible or use dreamweaver / fireworks and end up with absolutely fat and ugly code??? other choices??? by the time u get used to one of these editors and find out the quirks in them - u'd have wasted some incredible amounts of time...

btw - way out of my predicament - found that myself... use div tags...

Aj.

Actually Dreamweaver writes pretty darn slick code. I've never had any problems... Frontpage is ****e though, you're right.

A little off topic maybe... but nevertheless...

My favourite editor is CuteHTML or 1stPage 2000. They are both free and can be found at download.com.
They do not edit your code at all. I hate editors that does that. I used to work with notepad, but in an HTML-editor the tags are colored, so it is easier to read.
I've also heard that textpad should be one of the best. I think I'm gonna try it right now acctually...

Never use Composer. If you use composer you shouldn't even be on this web site. Use something professional. My preference is Homesite (even though the 4.5 version is a major memory hog). Homesite is good if you know the code, and Dreamweaver is good if you don't.

HERE'S A REALLY GOOD SUGGESTION...

IF U DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO A QUESTION - PLEASE DON'T BOTHER ANSWERING. NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN SMART ALEC COMMENTS LIKE THE ONES ABOVE HERE! (atleast i am not).

don't mean to be rude to anyone - but seriously - if u have nothing else to do - don't do anything for christ's sake!!!
