Different TD style defintion per table?

[Bardo]

I've got a problem that I'm hoping you guys can help with. Basically I want
to use two or more tables, each with their own 'TD' style tag so that I can
use a different typeface/size in each table. The problem I'm encountering is
that the very first TD style that I define is globally used in all the
tables. Is there any way to define a 'TD' stylesheet tag so that it is
*local* to a particular table without having to assign a 'style' to each and
every <TD> tag within that table? Here's the basic layout of what I'm trying
to achieve...

<stylesheet definition for TD for maintable>

<maintable>

<subtable>
<stylesheet definition for TD within subtable>
<endsubtable>

<subtable>
<stylesheet definition for TD within subtable>
<endsubtable>

<endmaintable>

Apologies if I'm being a bit vague!!!

i recommend a css tutorial for such basic issues.

style tag so that I can use a different typeface/size in each table.

td{ ... style for all <td>s on page ...}

..table01 td{... style for table one <td>s... }
..table02 td{... style for table two <td>s... }

<table class="table01">
.....
<table class="table02">
.....

etc

<stylesheet definition for TD for maintable>
<maintable>
<subtable>
<stylesheet definition for TD within subtable>
<endsubtable>
<subtable>
<stylesheet definition for TD within subtable>
<endsubtable>
<endmaintable>

Do you mean you're trying to do something like the following?

<style>
table {...}
</style>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<style>
table {...}
</style>
<table><tr><td>...</td></tr></table>
</td>
<td>
<style>
table {...}
</style>
<table><tr><td>...</td></tr></table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

If so, that's totally broken. Go back and read a *basic* CSS tutorial.

You're probably very right, Brucie.

Thanks for the info, though - very helpful indeed!
