Button styles 1

crabgrass · Nov 29, 2007

Given the following:
<code>
<style>
button.rolodex{width: "50";}
</style>
</head>
<body bgcolor="gray">

<form method="post" action="">

<input type="button" name="" value="A" class="rolodex">
</code>

Shouldn't the width of the button be 50? How would you define and reference a class to set the button width?

Also, how would you define and reference a class to assign the bgcolor in a table cell <TD>?

Thanks

50 what? you need to give your measurements units. inches, pixels, percent? Values in a CSS don't need to me quoted either and just use the class name:
instead of

Code:

button.rolodex{width: "50";}

just do:

Code:

.rolodex{width:50px;}

crab, just remove the button part and the quotes

Code:

.rolodex{width: 50px;}

for your second question, if you want it to apply to all cells then just use

Code:

td {
background: blue;
}

or you can use a class as above

Code:

.tdClass{
background:red;
}
....

<table>
<tr>
<td class="tdClass">
etc...

Perhaps reading a beginners guide to HTML & CSS that was written sometime in the last year would be a good idea as well.

Thanks guys. I was close but no cigar. I had tried including the px to designate pixels but of course without the rest it didn't work.
