RE: Form Fonts

I have discovered, at least using PageMill, that whatever you left your font
setting on, that is what will appear in the forms, so you ought to highlight
the box, and then set the font that you want to appear there.

In a form I'm developing with Web Express, I get two different fonts inside
different user entry areas. For small (one line or less) user entry boxes,
Web Express uses <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="zzz45 Div" VALUE="Div/Dept/Section:"
SIZE="75" MAXLENGTH="75"> for example. My user prompt text in this box
("Div/Dept/Section:") shows up in my proportional body text font (Arial) as
used in the rest of the form. This is what I want.

For larger than one line user entry boxes, Web Express uses
<TEXTAREA NAME="zzz46 Address" COLS="73" ROWS="3">Street Address, Suite,
Apt., Box No.: </TEXTAREA> for example. My user prompt text in this box
("Street Address, Suite, Apt., Box No.: ") shows up in a monospaced font
(Courier New?) unlike my body text in the rest of the form. I want this user
prompt text to appear in Arial, as it does in the example above.

There are no font commands between these two statements. I don't want to
move the user prompt outside the box, but I do want them both to look like
body text if possible. Help!
