That's not what I suggested. Why don't you post a URL so that we could see
what your real text page is?
I'm using td.boldcenter for the class name
That's a poor name because it binds class to specific visual rendering.
so my codes looks like this:
tr
td class=boldcenter9-25-08/td
td class=boldcentera href=xxx.pdfName/a/td
tdThis is where some information would go that I do not
want centered or bold./td
/tr
That can't be all of the code, and you didn't describe what CSS code you
have. A URL would tell this all.
Some people have suggested the use th. That means table header cell, and
should be used for headers only. After selecting markup, you need to pay
attention to the fact that th elements are by default normally rendered as
centered and bold, so you may wish to take actions that override this (or
just accept it).

Hi Tommy--
I might be tuning in a bit late here, but isn't this essentially what
you want?
table
tbody
tr
th9-25-08/th
tha href=xxx.pdfName/a/th
tdThis is where some information would go that I do not want
centered or bold./td
/tr
/tbody
/table
Should work in all browsers and doesn't even require CSS modifications
since HTML already has a tag in place for this sort of thing.
Hope it helps.
Bill

Re: [css-d] control td text
Hi Bill, Thanks for the suggestion. I might be doing something wrong, but when I tried using the th tag it would bold the text but not center it like I thought it should. I tried it in IE and Firefox, both with the same results. Would it have something to do with my doctype? I'm using xhtml 1.0 transitional.

It's hard to generalize from such a small sample, but in this particular
case you would not need any classes at all - nor would you need the
HTML ALIGN attribute nor the STRONG elements. This would suffice:
td {
font-weight: normal;
text-align: left;
}
td div {
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
}
This may not apply to your particular case - I'm only guessing.
P.S. Sorry about the late reply. Having ISP problems!
Cordially,
David

Re: [css-d] control td text
Thanks David, You put me on the right track. I made a rule for the tag th
and left td to it's default and that worked. I'm not sure why I was trying
to make things harder that they needed to be. Sometimes you can't see the
forest for the trees. Thanks again for the solution.

Surely, with the usual CSS Caveats. However, as usual you need some handle
to the element, i.e. a selector that refers to the element(s) that should be
styled in a particular way and not to any other element. It depends on the
structure how easy this is. If you cannot change the markup, then it might a
fairly tough issue (grin).

It really depends on the markup.

A URL would paint a better picture, but if you wish to bold and center them
for emphasis, then strong is really adequate markup and there is little
reason to get rid of it. But if you wish to center such cells as well, then
you could dispense with the presentational align attribute as well as the
somewhat artificial markup and use just
tdstrong.../strong/td
for the cells to be emphasized, together with
td strong { display: block; text-align: center; }
in CSS
I thought I could make a class for td and apply that to the
appropriate areas
That's possible too, and usually the best approach if there is no natural
semantic markup you could use.
but can not seem to get it to work.
I suppose then that there is some mistake in your HTML, CSS, HTTP, or
somewhere else. :-)
