 Hi,
I am having a tag like this

<td>dates (tentative)</td>

where i now want this part "(tentative)" to be in smaller font
size. Can you resolve this?

<td>dates <span style="font-size: 90%;">(tentative)</span></td>

I would suggest you visit: http://htmldog.com/
Note the sections on CSS.

There's little (no pun intended) point in being pseudo-structural when
you can write

<td>dates <small>(tentative)</small></td>

and, if desired, assign a specific font-size to <small> either using
inline CSS (style="..." attribute, as above) or a simple CSS rule
small { font-size: 90%; }
in an external style sheet (or in a <style> element).

There's actually _no_ point in using <span> markup (which causes nothing
when CSS is off), when there is an HTML element that means what you
want, 'smaller font', though not any specific font size.

I guess its HTML part is useful too.
