[css-d] Generic table styling (possibly using multi-class attributes)?

2008-07-28 Thread Michael B Allen
When I generate a table, occasionally I'd like to style it in column, row and/or cell specific ways. Rather than emit application specific style information on a case-by-case basis, can someone recommend a method or best practices for generic table styling? I'm a programmer, not a web designer. I'd

Is there any way to reduce the space above characters. Consider the following: http://www.ioplex.com/~miallen/t14.html Setting line-height: 0.5; has no effect on the space above "Apples". There's at least 4 whole pixels above the A and l in this example. Is there any way to reduce that? Mike _
