Text color in cells

[glenvern]

Default text color is Black:
I have a page of <td's> (several hundred) where I would like the text color to be white.
I have to do this color change in every cell using <span class="> etc...

Can I using CSS or Java make the text in these cells a default white instead of black,
this would save me a lot of codeing.

thanx...

If I'm understanding you properly? you could just put the following code in your css file to change all the text in your td's to white



td{
color: #fff
}



Is that what you needed?

[glenvern]

Thanx for that, I imagine that would work ok except I forgot to mention
the text is also in a link, this must make a difference as it didn't work.

<td bgcolor=black> <a href" "> white text </a></td>

Well in that case you can just do:



td a:link{
color: #fff
}



There are also other states of the link that you might want to set in the same way (e.g, a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active)
