HTML basefont tag

Example

Specify a default color and size for text on page:

<head>
<basefont color="red" size="5" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a header</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
</body>

The <basefont> tag specifies a default font-color, font-size, or font-family for all the text in a document.

The <basefont> tag is only supported by Internet Explorer, and should be avoided!

The basefont element was deprecated in HTML 4.01, and is not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD.

DTD indicates in which DTD the attribute is allowed. S=Strict, T=Transitional, and F=Frameset.
