ok i give up, set font size for table

[bbxrider]

trying to set specific font for a table and while we at it, how about rows
too?
i've tried with css
< table id=font15px> .font15px{font-size: 15px}
<table class="font15px"> #font15px{font-size: 15px}
without css
< table font-size: 15px>

but the font size still is the one set in my css body attributes?

maybe its not possible??

Seems like you have the class and id prefixes reversed.

I suggest you read a bit about basic CSS-handling. It seems that you
don't know how to use IDs and classes. The correct above examples should
read:

your first try
---------------
HTML:
<table id="first">

CSS:
table#first {
font-size:1.2em; /* don't use px as units! */
}

your second try
---------------
HTML:
<table class="second">

CSS:
table.second {
font-size:1.2em; /* don't use px as units! */
}

your third try
--------------
HTML:
<table style="font-size:1.2em;"> <!-- but don't mix structure with
layout -->

that gives you a starting point. But it might not work as you expected,
it's just correct CSS...

thanks for the replies, especially bernhard for your details
one thing i had to do was remove another css statement
hr, hd {font-size: 11px;}
for the class and/or id to work
i thought i could 'override' a tag statement with class and/or id
