Certain Style Not Working

certain td style not working

[Electric Mike]

Hello,
Please consider these 2 styles I made:

tdPrimaryColor { background-color: #9c0000 }
-Works as intended

tdSecondaryColor { background-color: #004891 }
-Does not work

Can anyone tell me why tdSecondaryColor wouldn't be working?

Thanks,
Mike

Welcome aboard Electric Mike, if that is your CSS verbatim, it's because you are assigning a style to an element "tdPrimaryColor" and no such element exists. :-)

If you want an element assigned only to a td with the class PrimaryColor,

td.primaryColor {}

<td class="PrimaryColor">.....

But if you want to repurpose that class for any element of the class "PrimaryColor",

.primaryColor {}

<td class="PrimaryColor">.....
<p class="PrimaryColor">.....
<div class="PrimaryColor">.....

-Works as intended

If the CSS you posted is in error and I've just told you what you already know, is it possible you are rendering in Quirks mode? (I.E., document doesn't validate, or maybe contains other errors?)

Not a web safe color?

Hi rocknbil,
THanks very much for the answer. I think I'm going to have to learn a bit more about the wonderful world of css!
