Can someone please take a look at the following code and help me with the following 2 problems:

1) Basefont isn't controlling the size of the text
2) The "featured sites" cell has been set to valign=middle but the cell text is still appearing at the top of the cell

Even though i'm using some deprecated code, i'd like to figure this out without usings CSS or Stylesheets.

Thanks.

<html>

<head>
<title>HTML Practice</title>
<meta name="description" content="Practice HTML document">
<basefont face="arial" size="1" color="#000000">
</head>

<body topmargin="15" leftmargin="15">

<table align="left" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
<td height="12" bgcolor=336699>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="#ffcc66"><h4>Featured Sites</h4></

td></tr>
<tr>
<td align="center"><p><font face="arial" size="2">Site #1</font><br>Site #2

<br>Site #3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="12" bgcolor=336699>
</tr>
</table>

</body>

For number one try using CSS with something like this:

body {

font-size:14px;

}

The 2nd ones' code looks fine to me.
