What am I doing wrong

each paragraph needs class

[Acternaweb]

I thought one <span class="text"> would cover the entire page, like the way <font face> does. Am I wrong?

I have a page with several paragraphs but each paragraph needs a class. What do I have wrong?

Thanks,

If you want it to affect the entire page, how about adding it to the body css effects?

<style type="text/css">
body {color:#00ff00;}
</style>

Or if you only want the style applied to paragraphs, you can use

p {color:#0f0;}

Or if you want it applied to paragraphs, list items, and table cells, you could use

p,li,td,th,dd {color:#0f0;}

Or if you want it applied only to paragraphs inside a div named "text," you could say

div#text p {color:#0f0;}

I have tried use body but it doesn't work. I am not trying to change the color, only the font face and size. Does it matter if I use <span class> or <div class>?

Thanks

UGH Nevermind, I had a freaking typo. Anyway to get back the lost hair? LOL

Thanks for the help

You can't put block level elements (such as p,div,ul,ol,hn) inside an inline level element (such as span,a,cite,q,img).

So yes, it matters if you use div vs. span :)

DrDoc,

Sure you can. It just isn't valid and may or may not work, depending on how the browser handles it. But you can do it ;-)
