Use of CSS for controls (label, textbox, etc.)

[Jurjen de Groot]

I'm experimenting with StyleSheets in ASP.NET.

If I put a label on my webform and <LINK> the CSS file with the following
entries to the webform it doesn't work. It only works if I fill the property
'cssClass' of the label with the value 'label'.

..label
{
background-color: Red;
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: xx-large;
}

Isn't there some standard way of connecting classes (or whatever) to the
standard ASP.NET controls without having to fill the 'cssClass' property of
each and every control on the page ? Like using .label for labels or
..textbox for textbox controls ?


Kind regards,

that's because asp:Labels are read as INPUT by the css
try

INPUT
{
background-color: Red;
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: xx-large;
}

Curt,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, for labels one should use
'span' and for textbox you use 'INPUT'

My bad... you are correct...
Basically what I was shooting for is that you need to use the RENDERED html
tag type, not the asp type. :}
