CSS - Some simple questions

Hey,

So I’ve just gotten into CSS and it’s just great!:thumb: But since I’m still a newbie I’ve got some problemoz.

First of all, check this out:

Question 1
That’s a piece of a website I’m creating and as you see there is a white background. I want that background to start/end right above/under the text - now I’ve got this extra line of whiteness going on. Did I explain that good enough?:stuck_out_tongue:

Question 2
And another question; the text is not done with CSS cause I didn’t manage to get it right. Here is the font settings (which I’ve written in the HTML part)

<font color="#999999" face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="1">

I want to set those settings in my CSS document, but I can’t figure it out. I tried something like this:

#innhold {

    position: absolute;
    top: 40px;
    left: 180px;
    z-index: 1; 
    background-color: #fff; 
    font: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size:11px;
    color: #999; 
     
}

But then it turned out all the wrong way with the font. Have a look:

I want that crizpy pixel thing - how? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m guessing this is really simple, but still a problem for me:)

Cheers!
