Css Default body text

liunx

Guest
Currently I have my css like this, when I want my main text i put: <td class="text"> where text is: <br />
<br />
.text {<br />
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;<br />
color : #000000;<br />
font-size: 13px;<br />
font-weight: normal;<br />
}<br />
<br />
Now, this is fine but ideally I could set this in the body soo i do not have to do this with every cell. Is it possible to place the default text in the body which currently is<br />
<br />
body {<br />
scrollbar-face-color: #DEDDC6;<br />
scrollbar-shadow-color: #666666;<br />
scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF;<br />
scrollbar-track-color: #CCCCCC;<br />
scrollbar-arrow-color: #AAAAAA;<br />
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #000000;<br />
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #000000;<br />
}<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

<br />
body, form, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, input, li, ol, p, select, td, textarea, tr, ul {<br />
font-family: "trebuchet ms", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;<br />
}<br />
<br />
and includes stuff that I want to apply to the whole document.<!--content-->you cant just put style="font:whatever" in the body tag to have it affect everything?<!--content-->Originally posted by Gregory <br />

Probably =) How would my css body look then with the scrollbar info on it? --Sorry, not to css savy. =)<!--content-->i would make a seperate stylesheet, then you can use<br />
<br />
body{<br />
scrollbar-base-color:#######;<br />
scrollbar-arrow-color:#######;<br />
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:######;<br />
scrollbar-whatever-colors.....<br />
scrollbar-whatever-colors.....<br />
scrollbar-whatever-colors.....<br />
}<br />
// and then<br />
body ul, textarea, td, all the other good stuff{<br />
font: whatever;<br />
color:whatever;<br />
etc.<br />
}<!--content-->Font-family is an inherited attribute, so if you put in your body CSS, all elements should have that font until you say otherwise.<!--content-->Originally posted by Gregory <br />

I am certainly not sure what ul and all the other stuff means. :confused: Would it be in bad taste to post my css stylesheet and you can see the mess that is my site and perhaps help we a bit with it?<!--content-->
