Adding superscripts in CSS website - Virtual Assistant Forums

Offsite Office Professionals · #1 (**permalink**) 07-05-2009

I've built my website using a CSS template and I need to add superscripts. I tried using in the text file but this doesn't seem to work so I'm assuming I need to do something on the stylesheet. Any ideas?

In your HTML try adding a span class surrounding what you want superscripted:
E=mc2

And in the CSS: .superscript {vertical-align: super; }

HTH a bit,

Thanks, Jules, it worked! I really need to learn more about CSS and HTML.

You are very welcome; I'm so glad I could help! There is so much to learn about X/HTML and CSS that it boggles the mind.

About 3 years ago I got back into "web stuff" after almost a 10 year absence - wow! how things had changed. "What the heck is this CSS stuff?!" And "No tables for layout?!" Well 3 years later and it makes sense.

It is so much fun, though (well, except for when IE doesn't follow the standards and causes me to pull my hair out

)!
