How to change the color of the text here in this HTML file?

Question

How do I change the color of this text: You Have Already Earned Credit For This Link.

    <div id=\"myform\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\">
<font size=2><b>You Have Already Earned Credit For This Link.</b></font>
</div>

This is a PHP and HTML file. Thank you very much indeed!

The "font" tag is deprecated. Learn how to use CSS. And this has nothing to do with PHP — ADyson, Jun 07 '21 at 17:39

You can do so by doing the following: Wrap your text in a paragraph tag, and apply the following CSS styling:

p {
  color: red;
}

<div id="myform">
<b><p>
You Have Already Earned Credit For This Link.
</p></b>
</div>

You can't put a `
` inside of a ``. Paragraph tags are block, "bold" tags are inline; you can nest block elements inside of inline elements -- a browser might handle it, though it's not valid.

(for clarity, the previous comment has a typo and should say "you **can't** nest block element inside of inline elements") – Roddy of the Frozen Peas Jun 08 '21 at 17:07

I was able to change to font color by adding color=white like this:

   <div id=\"myform\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\">
<font size=2 color=white><b>You Have Already Earned Credit For This Link.</b></font>

This is old fashioned code, deprecated and could in theory stop working in the future, browsers are not obliged to support it. Using CSS is a much better solution - see the other answer – ADyson Jun 07 '21 at 18:57

Not only should you not be using `color="white"`, you also shouldn't be using `size="2"`, ``, or ``. The other answer is on the right track, but it's also bad because it's nesting an unnecessary `
` tag inside of the ``.
