Changing Font color/size for an XML file displayed in a browser

[andrewf]

Hello I have an XML file that is displayed in a browser..

I want to be able to format the text (change the font color and size)
as well as change the background to a color or image.

I have had some luck in the past linking the xml file to a CSS
using the following code at the top of the XML file:

----------------------------------------------------------
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="cssforxmlfile.css"?>
----------------------------------------------------------

But for the XML file that I am working on I can't seem to get it to work (And
I cant change the layout of the XML file).

I want to be able to change the font type, size and color of all the text
in " " that follows str=

I have bolded the first few chunks of text that I want to be able to format.

Does anyone know how I can do this??

</Prompts>
</TerminalParams>

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the code that I have in my CSS file:

-------------------------
Prompts
{
color: #ff7f00;
font-size: 12pt;
}

-------------------------

As you can see I have tried to change the font color and size of
the text for "Prompts" but it doesn't seem to work.

Have I done something wrong???

Or is there another way to format the text?? either with an external file
or within the XML file?


Thanks, Andrew
