i was trying to apply some css style to a link through an external style sheet, but it won't work. i know the page is linked to the external sheet, so it's in the code.

this is on the external sheet:



font.topnav a {font-family:arial; font-size:10pt; letter-spacing:1px; color: black; text-decoration:none}

a.topnav2 {font-family:arial; font-size:10pt; letter-spacing:1px; color: black; text-decoration:none}

td.topnav a {font-family:arial; font-size:10pt; letter-spacing:1px; color: black; text-decoration:none}


those are the three i tried. finally it worked with the td one, but is it possible to apply css with a CLASS via font. or a.?





here's the code i applied it to, with the class in the td tag, not the font tag like i had hoped would work.

<TD CLASS="topnav"><FONT><A HREF="../../index.htm">HOME</A></FONT></TD>

I tried this and it works fine for me:


<style type="text/css">

.myClass {
color: black;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 10pt;
letter-spacing: 1px;
text-decoration: none; }

</style>

</head>
<body>

<a href="http://forums.webdeveloper.com/" class="myClass">My Link</a>!<br />
<font class="myClass">My Font</font>

even that one didn't work for me. i just want to be able to put the class name in the FONT tag and have it refer to the external .css sheet. anyone?

Forget you ever heard of a <font> tag and then think about how you should do it. <font> is deprecated, not needed and anachronistic when you're using CSS. Put the font definitions into the tag selectors like:

a {font-family:arial; font-size:10pt; letter-spacing:1px; color: black; text-decoration:none}

Eh...<font> tag, you say? What is this <font> tag?

:D


Anyhoo, I agree.
<font> == Bad!
