differnt style for text with css but not <P>

[warby1212]

HI,

I'm trying to have just a few words in some text with a diferent style (colour, bold). I know how to set the style of <P> in a style sheet but I don't want a new paragraph every time. I also want it in the stylesheet so I can set it for the whole website. should I be creating a class? I'm a bit lost.

yup

use divs

#one {color: blue;}
#two {color: black;}

<DIV class=&quot;one&quot;>Here i am one text</DIV><DIV class=&quot;two&quot;>Here i am different text</DIV>

Actually <div>s (being block elements) will be much the same as <p>s. Try <span> tags for just a few words within a paragraph.

As in:
<style>
.green {color: green;}
.boldblue {color: blue; font-weight:bold;}
</style>

Thanks for that, just what I was looking for. The trouble is it still goes to new line. Can I stop that?

Cheers
