Table text - 6/29/2003 4:07:44
Ok, it' s been a while since I have used CSS,
 since I had to do real work, I ain' t had much time for web design.
CSS, is there a quick and easy way to hightlight text in a table using CSS, given that the table uses a class already. Can this be done without using span.
Shuffles my feet, say for ....oh I don' t know........example, I used this code.....
<table width=" 100%" cellspacing=" 0" cellpadding=" 0" >
<tr>
<td> and No Blank Space Please </td> the & and nbsp;
<td width=" 500" align=" center" valign=" top" class=" maintext" >
Successful web site design takes much more than a few words and pictures. At North
Carolina Web Design we don' t believe in leaving web design to halfhearted
guesswork. Soliciting and collecting information from our clients gives us a head
start in their web design. To aid the web design process we encourage our clients
to have a brief idea of the type of web presence they require. Overlooking even one
or two key aspects of web site design can result in many missed opportunities.

DaAngel,
Do you want to format all the text in a cell or format selected words/ phrases in the text?
To format all the text in a cell:
I create a class in my CSS and then select that class from the style drop box (Normal View). On this project, some of the templates have six different tables so I use relatively long names to make it easier for developers to select the correct style - and safer for me if I have to edit the CSS (e.g. sopintror1c1 and sopancol4).
To format selected words and phrases:
I create a class in my CSS and then insert the tags by hand in HTML view. I don' t think there is a way to do this in Normal view but one of the forum' s gurus may know how.
BTW, you can also manage your table properties with CSS - a life-saver if the client wants to change the appearance.
Cheers

Huh? I don' t understand that at all.
The font tag is deprecated, but ' div' is an integral part of both HTML 4 and XHTML and is a cornerstone of designing with CSS.

I use spans.
If you enter it as span.name in your style sheet it will appear in the dropdown styles list in FP.
I often use this to provide, for example, a span used to style each instance of a company' s name. You just select the company name any time, find the style in the list and apply.
For example this site: http://www.intradyn.com
uses this in the stylesheet:
span.intra{font-weight:bold;color:#04b7bb;font-variant:small-caps;}
span.dyn{font-weight:bold;color:#0fc61d;font-variant:small-caps;}
and this in the HTML:
<span class=" intra" >Intra</span><span class=" dyn" >Dyn</span>
to style the company name.

Yep, would work just as well but would not then show up in the styles drop down menu.
I just find it handy to have it appear there especially with a span that is very frequently used. Makes it quicker to apply than having to go into the html each time.

abbeyvet,
As usual, you had the answer - now I know how to style a word or phrase in Normal view.
Thank you
Bill
