Defaut font - font in text box

[sodakotahusker]

Is there way to set the default font attibute for a page - or is IE like the old Ford Company - you can get any color you want as long as you want black? In other words the default font is set by the user for any html page?
So if I want to override the default I have to wrap it in a div or span - or <font> tags?

define the font for the body elememnt

<style type="text/css">
body {
font-color:#ff0000;
/* set other attributes*/
}
</style>

Thanks. Actually - font-color: does not work. Just color was the ticket.
That saved me a lot of time!!! Thanks again.

Do note that changing font-style, size, color, etc for the body of a document does NOT seem to change it everywhere in the document - just in normal textual elements. You will probably still have to code styles for form elements and table data.

I had a css file which is doing that. Thanks for the heads up though.
