Many HTML editors have built-in validation; I use HomeSite and TopStyle, for instance, which validate things as I type. In Topstyle, in fact, the color-coding changes to reflect correct syntax, so if something's off I know immediately. But at any rate, you can use the W3's CSS validator and it'll point out anything screwy.

I'll go ahead and quickly create an example of what I am talking about and post it back here!

<edit>: The HTML and .CSS are below

[b]The .CSS Code[/B}

BODY { font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 8pt; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: normal; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: #FF9900; text-decoration: none; background-color: #666666; background-repeat: no-repeat; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center; word-spacing: normal; cursor: crosshair}

The HTML Code

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">
</head>

<p> </p>
<p>For Example, This is where the .CSS Style Sheet is WORKING CORRECTLY!</p>
<p> </p>
<table width="655" border="1">
<tr>
<td>And for example, It doesn't here! WHY!</td>
</tr>
</table>

Dr T E Ozone: What browser is showing up the problem?

It seems likey that this is one of the nagging browser issues that occurs occasionally 9although without a link or some code I can't tell).

These problems are usually fixed by doing something like:

code:

body, p, td {

font-family ETC



}

Even if you have stuff in table cells like:

quote:
<td>And for example, It doesn't here! WHY!</td>

You should pop them in P tags - they are paragraphs after all

From what I understand, tables don't always reliably inherit (depending on the browser), so you might need to be explicit (as emps pointed out).

Before Slime gets to you first, you REALLY should have a doctype declaration.

On this -

It's actually somewhat of an amusing statement. "correct" is a very relative term. If it's not working, chances are that *something* about isn't correct, or what the browser considers correct is different than what the specs say (or how you interpret the specs ) is correct.
