My web app by default has a style sheet called Style.css

I added the following to this:

.CaptionStyle
{
border-right: slateblue 1px solid;
border-top: slateblue 1px solid;
border-left: slateblue 1px solid;
color: whitesmoke;
border-bottom: slateblue 1px solid;
font-family: 'Arial Black';
background-color: darkslateblue;
text-align: left;
}

Now the HTML for my ASP page is:

<body bgColor="#99ccff" MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout">
<form id="Login" method="post" runat="server">
<table height="100%" width="100%" border="0">
<tr vAlign="middle" align="center">
<td>
<table height="300" width="500">
<tr height="25">
<td>
WOKAWIDGET
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table width="100%" height="100">
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>

yes, I know, very bare and empty :(
working from the bottom up.

Now say I wanted the cell with the word WOKAWIDGET in it to have my .CaptionStyle style, how would I do this?

Woof?

Yup...that is correct.

But you also need:

<LINK href="Styles.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">

At the top of the html page!

:D

I know I'm going to get lambasted for this...

but its hard to forgo tables and still keep a nice layout for screen resolutions varying between 800 and 1024...

We still have quite a table structure skeleton, with style tag innards.

I'm quite sick of it too! :(

You'll get the hang of it. Once you use it lots, it becomes as easy as eating badger-flatmeat.

Did you know that you can drag your stylesheet from solution explorer on to your web page, and VS will add that LINK tag for you. Its the little things that impress me...lol.

Keep trying, it will work after the 100th time. If not, repeat until it does. I know that this work around sucks, but it is the price you pay for using an obviously flawed application such as Notepad. :D
