Question on (X)HTML/CSS table structures

[Jeremy Brown]

Hi,
I have several tables on my site that have the same layout throughout the
site, regardless of page. I am inherently lazy and do not want to type a
class="xxxx" in every row <tr> and data <td> entry of a table. I am
wondering if there is a way to put a single class in the <table> that will
configure the whole table, <td> & <tr> included if possible.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Example of what I am talking about:
http://jerem43.home.att.net/home for an example of the type of table I am
talking about, specifically the "Jumpstation"

http://jerem43.home.att.net/css for my style sheet

I am inherently lazy and do not want to type a class="xxxx" in every
row <tr> and data <td> entry of a table.

TABLE.foo { color:blue; border:1px solid green; }
TABLE.foo TD { color:blue; border:1px solid red; }

<table class="foo">
<tr><td>a</td><td>b</td></tr>
<tr><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr>
</table>

Go read up on descendant selectors.

Hi Jeremy,

There are some bizarre examples on the CSS Table Gallery but also a
few very nice ones:

I modified one myself (Like Adwords):

Hope this helps,

That's certainly an interesting site.
