Table design - making columns differently aligned

[sorenbruun]

Hi, I am trying to create a table in HTML and style it in CSS. I am trying to make the first column in this table (

http://prisportal.com/Test.html)

left aligned and the subsequent 5 columns center aligned.
I have tried to make a class (td class="navn"), but it seems to be overruled by something else - anyway it is not working.

Any ideas on how I get this to work ?

Its called Specificity you akasse td style is more specific and thus more important than your regular td.navn. This means that akasse td{} overrides td.navn{}.

Add the ID to your style, and it should become more specific than your class and thus apply the styling.

[red]#akasse[/red] td.style{
...
}

Thank you very much Phil, for the VERY fast reply. It worked like a charm Had a feeling the answer was pretty straight forward (when you know how to ).

This has nothing to do with the solution (since that was already provided in full), but you might want to consider using the semantically more correct <th> for the first column. It is the header column for your table.
