Hi

How can I assing a group of things to one class? In other words.. what I'm trying to do is to create one class "TD" (table cell) and then I want to be able to control the background colour and text from this one class. Can this be done? Or do I have to do two different classes?

Cheers

TD { bgcolor: #000000 }

....makes all TD's black

TD.yourclass { bgcolor: #000000 }

....makes only <TD class="yourclass"> black.

CSS annoys the heck out of me because Netscape 4.5 insists on not inheriting classes (such as elements of the BODY class to the TD class...) and not even having a full freaking implementation of CSS to begin with ;-) I try not to use it for anything escept for text attributes and things I can't control with a reasonable amount of plain HTML.

Have a look at http://www.blooberry.com. There's a pretty thorough HTML reference and decent CSS reference as well.

So am I right in assuming I can do:

TD.yourclass { bgcolor: #000000; font: arial; }

??

Hm, so how do I swtich betwen styles? I've tried the following, but it doesn't work.

OnMouseOver="style.navsel"

Where I have a css style named TR.navsel

Hey Wil, I don't use stylesheets often enough to remember all of the nomenclature, so I downloaded a program (nagware) called Top Style. I highly recommend it. You can set your "level" of style sheet and it is pretty user-friendly.

Good Luck!

Its cool how a stylesheet can totally change the way a site looks.

Hi

Sorry, I forgot to follow up on this thread. I managed to fix the problem. Not a lot documented on the web for this, actually.

I found out that I should use this.className='' and not this.class='' as I had been using. Works like a charm! Much more flexible than defining the bg color and everything in the onmouseover. Keep them as a class! :-)
