OK, I give up! I need HTML help!
I want to add the "cost of war" counter to my blog, but I can't reduce the size of the font. I managed to reduce the size of the window, but the font inside the window was huge!

The code is at:
http://costofwar.com/

I need it reduced to
the size of this
column. Is that
possible?

1. apparently it's a remotely hosted javascript
which means it's going by the html/javascript code from where it is being hosted.

2. I was afraid of that.
No way to get to the source code, is there?

Thanks, anyway!

3. like this?
<center>
<!-- include cost of war javascript; this runs the counter -->
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://costofwar.com/costofwar.js"></script>
<!-- the elements 'row' and 'alt' will be changed by the javascript to contain
the correct numbers -->
<div><b>Cost of the War in Iraq</b></div>
<div id="raw">(JavaScript Error)</div>
<div><a href="http://costofwar.com" target="_top">To see more details, click here.</a></div>
<!-- this line triggers the counter to start -->
<script language="JavaScript">
inc_totals_at_rate(100);
</script>
</center>

5. ..
<script language="JavaScript" src="costofwar.js"></script>
<!-- You must have the 'raw' and 'alt' divisions or the costofwar.js code
won't be able to set the numbers. The other divisions here, 'costs' and
the one containing our link, aren't necessary though we would obviously
appreciate it if you retain the link. -->
<div><b>Cost of the War in Iraq</b></div>
<div id="raw">(JavaScript Error)</div>
<div><a href="http://costofwar.com" target="_top">To see more details, click here.</a></div>
<script language="JavaScript">
inc_totals_at_rate (750);
</script>

6. Stylesheet
Edited on Mon Jun-14-04 04:52 PM by orthogonal
The locality name and the cost are both in divs with id = raw.:

<div id="raw">(JavaScript Error)</div>

Trying adding a stylesheet that styles raw elements the way you want them.

Here's an embedded stylesheet you can put into the <head> element of your page:

<style>
.raw, #raw {
font-size: small;
}
</style>

Or you could download the remote javascript (using curl or wget, for instance), and modify that, but that might be a violation of copyright.
