Table/Text Formatting

[ljwmis]

I have inserted a table into a webpage where the body text is controlled by CSS. Just the usual set up:

CSS
body { margin-top="0";
margin-width="0";
margin-height="0";
background-color: #ffffff;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 65%;
color: #00008b;
text-align: justify; }

WEBPAGE
<table fontborder=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;>

<tr align=&quot;left&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>

<tr align=&quot;left&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>

The table looks fine, however I seem unable to control the format of the text. The text is huge compared to the surrounding text and seems to be in bold. I have tried font-size in <table> and have experimented with a control in CSS (not exactly sure how to control tables formatting in CSS), but to no avail.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

p.s. Could you suggest how to set up CSS to control table layout/formating etc. as I am thinking of inserting several tables across the site.

Many thanks.

Try adding td to the body selector.


body, td { margin-top=&quot;0&quot;;
margin-width=&quot;0&quot;;
margin-height=&quot;0&quot;;
background-color: #ffffff;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 65%;
color: #00008b;
text-align: justify; }

Hope this helps.
