Having Trouble

im new, with my first question

[Klear]

Ok, here is my CSS style sheet:

body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: Verdana, Arial;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
}
.extra {
font-family: Verdana, Arial;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
.subhead {
font-family: Verdana, Arial;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #3582C4;
}
.subhead a:link{
font-family: Verdana, Arial;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
}
.subhead a:hover{
font-family: Verdana, Arial;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 12px;
color: #3582C4;
}
.subhead a:visited{
font-family: Verdana, Arial;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
}
P {
font-family: Verdana, Arial;
font-size: 10px;
color: #000000;
}
P a:link{
font-family: Verdana, Arial;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 10px;
color: #000000;
}
P a:hover{
font-family: Verdana, Arial;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 10px;
color: #3582C4;
}
P a:visited{
font-family: Verdana, Arial;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 10px;
color: #000000;
}

Wouldn't I access the subhead by doing <P class="subhead> text here </P>

right?!

[djclark]

what exactly is wrong?

Well, you didn't close the quotation marks (class="subhead"), but assuming that was a typo in this message then yes, that should apply the style in question. But overall your CSS is highly redundant and so it can be hard to tell where a problem might lie. Your whole CSS reduces to something like this (though I didn't try it):

body {
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: Verdana, Arial;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
}

.extra {
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFFFFF;
}

.subhead {
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #3582C4;
}

a:link, a.visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
}

a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
color: #3582C4;
}

Weird, im loading it up in IE and it isnt formating it correctly...

When in doubt, validate:

When using the div, can that go across rows, colums, and other tables?

What I am asking is, im using the div at the top of the table to format text, but rows down, text is not getting formated... Do I need to surround the text with anything other than having <div id="textbody"> and end with </div>?

Hi Klear,

Can you make it more clear about what you want to accomplish with the html? I cannot understand what you mean. Are you working with a table in the html code?
