    And no, Im not doing it on that website, I picked that as an example as I quoted above. If I had access to that site for instance, I could simply use the developer tool kit in Admin, search for that definition, and it would find the module/template etc that its called from.
    Not enough info to work with for me anyway. On a stock ZC template the price inherits the font characteristics as you described, from the body tag. The color of the text on the site you provided is defined in the css as I described and called on the span tag <span style="font-size: larger;" class="priceinnewproducts">£x.xx</span>. This is in the div id=whatsNew. You are correct that changing the font characteristics in a stock ZC template would require definition of additional css and/or divs in whatever sections you want to target. Without more specific information about what you are trying to do I find it impossible to help. On the main page the prices are displayed in multiple divs. New products, featured products, bestsellers... They are also displayed on product listings and other places throughout the site which would involve different templates. From the info you've provided and without a link to the site I can't tell what you need to change.

    Yep, this is why I mentioned that even on a stock template, if you change a price to a 'special' price, there is then individual styling for the price (as it changes to strike through, with the discounted price below it in red etc) so its possible. Shame they didnt add it as a styling as standard, Im sure everyone would use it.

    By default there is no obvious hook for the normal price in the current version of Zen Cart (I hear a whisper that this will change in the next major upgrade).

    If you want to add tags onto which you can hook some styling (as has been done on the site referred to earlier in this thread), then you could try this ...

    ... includes/functions/functions_prices.php, find this line
    PHP Code:
              $show_normal_price $currencies->display_price($display_normal_pricezen_get_tax_rate($product_check->fields['products_tax_class_id'])); 
    and replace it with
    PHP Code:
              $show_normal_price '<span class="standardprice">' $currencies->display_price($display_normal_pricezen_get_tax_rate($product_check->fields['products_tax_class_id'])) . '</span>'

    Ah found a problem. Doing that works on the front page, but the issue is it has also put the same styling on the prices on a product page, and all multiple listings (new, special, featured), even though for instance, there was already specific styling for them eg...

    #productPrices, #reviewsInfoDefaultPrice {
    font: 44px Arial;
    color: #a30101;
    margin: 0 0 16px 0;
    display: block;

    This made my product prices nice and large - now the new bit of code you have given me is overriding this...
