my css file is at http://www.heysherman.com/index/main.css
I am pretty sure you cold do this in css files, what I am trying to do is make it so all text is at xx-small by default unless told different. It appears the way I have it set up right now it should do this but its not. The only thing it does by default is make all text face’s Verdena. Anyone know if its possible to declare a default text size?

try posting in the dreamweaver section OR the ss forum

HAHAHAHAH, DELETED!
sorry, um… yeah, more than likely you have a declaration somewhere else in the CSS file that overrides the one you are trying to put in there. ie… if you have the <div> tag set as the xx small text property and then you have the <td> tag set as normal text then consequently, all of you information in the table will be ‘normal’ because the normal hierarchiel structure is reversed and the innermost elements take priority, hence the clever name of cascading style sheets.

you can also define a custom css style for certain blocks of text, useful for headers and other areas that need to be eye catching.

for example:

body {
	font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;
	font-size:10px;
	
}

.blueBold {
	font-weight:bold;
	color:#003366;

}

so there i defined the default body text as the verdana family at size ten, then created a custom style for a header, making the text blue and bold.

then, you can call the .blueBold style at anytime in your html by using:

<span class="blueBold">My bold blue text is in here!</span>

hope that helps.
