Style Sheet question (css)

[daph]

Hey everyone!<br><br>I know this isn't javascript related, but I didn't know where else to ask my question...I'm working with cascading style sheets right now, and I was wondering if anyone ever worked with these &quot;classes&quot; in it...I want to use some specific styles, but not to a particular tag...I would like to be able to use it with anything. (ex: with &lt;p&gt;, &lt;div&gt;, etc) I've tried it like this:<br><br>[in style sheet]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.text {font-weight:bold;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;font-color:#000040 }<br><br>[in html doc]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;p class=&quot;.text&quot;&gt;...blabla &lt;/p&gt;<br><br>This is suppose to work, but I don't have the results I want...anybody know anything about this type of class or any other way I could do this? Thank you soooo much! <br><br>daph

when decalring style sheet classes, you use the dot before the name:<br><br>.bigfreakingredtext {...}<br><br>You use it in your HTML like so:<br>&nbsp;<br>&lt;p class=&quot;bigfreakingredtext&quot;&gt;<br><br>Notice there is no dot in the HTML version.<br><br><A HREF="mailto:jared@aauser.com">jared@aauser.com</A>

Thank you <br><br>Would you know if there are any options in FrontPage that would show the changes for these classes? It works when I visualize it on the web, but in FrontPage, with Preview, it doesn't change anything...<br><br>Thanks again...<br><br>daph

Most likely you are using some sort of script to process or open the stylesheet.&nbsp;&nbsp;That script or asp file won't get processed through frontpage.

Why don't you just try coding without a generator instead.

I'm working with FrontPage because I'm doing this for an organization and they work with the software...for my personal pages, I usually just use the simplest thing

daph - <br><br>just so you know, in css, there are also id's<br><br>they exactly the same, with only one difference:<br><br>instead of a dot, use a pound (#) sign<br><br>ex:<br><i>&lt;style&gt;<br>#myId {...}<br>&lt;/style&gt;<br>&lt;div id=myId&gt;junk in div&lt;/div&gt;<br></i><br><br>just so you know. <p>theEclipse<br><a href=mailto:eclipse_web@hotmail.com>eclipse_web@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=robacarp.webjump.com>robacarp.webjump.com</a><br>**-Trying to build a documentation of a Javascript DOM, crossbrowser, of course. E-mail me if you know of any little known events and/or methods, etc.

I don't know about you... but I find Notepad a LOT simpler than Frontpage ) <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=

I would have to agree...once for a class we were assigned to make webpages, and everyone was using Netscape Composer, and it confused the hell out of me. = )<br><br>I need to get Allaire HomeSite 4.5, I heard its really good for coding HTML.

Well if I had to use a WYSIWYG editor, I'd probably go with Dreamweaver... but I use Notepad exclusively. I've heard Allaire has a good product, and it doesn't hurt to have the name to go with ColdFusion... <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=
