Using CSS to Edit Within HTML Element 3

[ThoughtStream]

I have run into a bit of a confusing problem for me. I want to change the color of a single word within a <p> tag to have red font. I know how to do this using html using the <font color=""> tag, but I have been told that is depreciated (or soon will be) so I need to use CSS instead. This is the line I want to edit (with the <font color> that I want to replace with css)

<p>Select your preferred seating area<font color="red"> (below)</font> or <asp:HyperLink>Click Here</asp:HyperLink> to have the best seats chosen by the system</p>

But I cannot get it to only color the word "below" red. Such a simple thing, but it has me completely stumped

I'm open to any advice at this point.

At the simplest level you can swap the FONT tags for a SPAN with an ID and then grab that and set the innerHTML on that

Just surround the word with a span tag instead of a font tag and style that for instance:

<p>Select your preferred seating area<span style="color:red;"> (below)</span> or <asp:HyperLink>Click Here</asp:HyperLink> to have the best seats chosen by the system</p>

Of course, if color red is how you define your [tt]strong[/tt] or [tt]em[/tt]phasized text, maybe you can use appropriate tags and style them to always look like that. However, without knowing the structure of your pages, it's hard to tell if that's the appropriate way to go.

Perfect! Thanks guys, the span tags work great!
@Vragabond - My boss just wanted me to edit that one word so that customers would notice it more easily, though I do appreciate the tip!
