Applying multiple styles

Hi all,

I'm having trouble figuring out how to apply multiple stylesheet styles to the same thing. Online stuff is indicating I should be able to, but when I do something like this, it doesn't work.

open bracket p class="red big">

Where red and big are the names of two separate styles.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Wish I understood CSS more to tell you how to add 2 styles to the same tag ... but YOU're the one I usually run to with my CSS headaches! Giving this a bump though, maybe someone else has a clue.

Hmm, im not actually sure you are able to do that without building a completely new page from scratch and using a JavaScript option to switch between those two pages.

Sorry i couldnt be much more help than that :(

Regards,

Lee

For me, I would have to go the rudimentary way and create three styles - #1 P.red, #2 P.big, and #3 P.RedAndBig

If that is a component of CSS then it is probably the new CSS2 specification.
Perhaps you want to employ that new feature to CSS2 called inheritance - which means if you declare a font-size for BODY, then you can declare P as font-size: inherit; -- as your declared values follow.

I have never used any of that because that is CSS2. My programming is pretty limited, but I can say that buying a book on CSS was the best money that I ever spent work-wise. I was at the bookstore a few weeks ago and noticed that O'Reilly has just released a second edition to their Cascading Style Sheets: The Definative Guide which now has complete, documented and fleshed out sections on CSS2. (I bought the first edition in 2000)

I recommend this book highly for anyone who works with webpages, as CSS skills are so important now. You can read the first chapter on their website www.ora.com . Hope that helps... good luck.

Well here's what your supposed to be able to do. The < brackets are replaced here by ( .

(p class="red big"> but I can't get it to work, but what I can do is this:

(td class="red")(p class="big") and this seems to work. It's more in line with what I wanted to do anyway. I have six pages on the predominant colour on each page is different, but everything else about the page is the same, so I didn't want to have to create six different style sheets.

I love style sheets, but hate them at the same time.
