[css-d] User Define Stylesheet

2006-05-19 Thread Mike Tuller
I have a webpage, not of my own that I use for printing reports, and the font 
is too small. I want to override the CSS that the company uses and replace it 
with my own. Here is the HTML


Bandel 
Gwen 
7634288652 
  
Confirmed 
  


When I try to set the text size with this:

td.smalltxt 
{
font-size: 16px;
font-family: Arial;

}

It does not change. I can change the color, so it seems that color is not set 
in their stylesheet, but font size is. I also know that you can use !important 
to force, but that doesn't seem to work in this. Can someone show me how they 
would go about forcing the user devine stylesheet to display the way I need it 
to?


Thanks,

Mike

The selector is located in an external stylesheet, so I figured that what I 
have set would override what they have. In their external sheet they have:

.smalltxt {
FONT-SIZE: 11px; 
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
}

How can I force it to override what they have? Is it possible?

that in your stylesheet

My guess is that their selector has a higher specificity and it still trumps 
your straightforward 
selector

Maybe they have a print-specific stylesheet for the size, but not for
the color. Make yours print-specific with !important and it should override.

Also, text sizing for print should be done in pt. You might find your
16px when applied to be sub-microscopic when printed.
