Folks,
I'm new to CSS and realise that by posting in the html newsgroup, I
might upset one or two readers by raising a CSS question in an html
newsgroup however my ISP only has one small CSS newsgroup available -
I'm hoping someone here might be able to help.
I have an external style sheet which I call/install from inside my head
tags like so:
<link href="css/module.css" rel="stylesheet " type="text/css">
<link href="css/vst.css" rel="stylesheet " type="text/css">
I would like to over-ride the fonts that are defined in the style sheet
but leave the rest of the setup the same - I'm sure there must be a
method that will allow me to over ride this via an html (or style tag)
that appears somewhere after the above - but I don't know which (or how).
Can someone help? All replies please via the newsgroup so that others
can learn too...
Thanks in advance,
randelld

After the <link> elements but still inside the <head>:

font-weight:bold;

</style>
Make sure that the styles you write in this styleblock aren't
less specific than the styles written in the stylesheet.

Thanks for the prompt reply - I've tried what you've suggested and I've
seen a small change - To confirm changes were happening, I swapped the
order of the font family you suggested and noted that only the fonts
outside of tables were changing - anything inside a table was as per the
style sheet.
Since the majority of my table cells have "class=formLabe l", and my
style sheet has a style set for formLabel, is there a method that I can
use to over ride this class? I've tried using your syntax above, but
changing the word 'body' for 'formLabel' but that didn't work.
All help is much appreciated - I've actually just downloaded the PDF
file for CSS2 and I'm looking at the fonts section - but anything you
can do to help me along my way would be greatly appreciated,
thanks in advance,

I got it... with your help... thanks...
In order to over-ride the font for the class 'formLabel' I've tested it with
<style type="text/css">
..formLabel { font-family: Baskerville, "Heisi Mincho W3", Symbol, serif }
</style>
I got those font names from the PDF on CSS2 and I noted that my style
sheets had their classes prefixed with a period/full-stop - I have the
styles after the <link> tags in my html file and it changed the font
through-out.
Thanks again for the prompt help,

Ask your ISP to add the 'missing' newsgroups that you want to use.
B)
In the interim, you can use Google Groups to search the archives
of prior postings to many newsgroups, and to post to newsgroups
not carried by your ISP.

This is how classes are defined in CSS always.
The full stop means class.
For example:
div{width:150px ;}
will give a width of 150px to all divs.
div.foo{width:1 50px;}
will give a width of 150px to all divs with class="foo"
..foo{width:150 px;}
will give a width of 150px to all block level elements with
class="foo". (would be all elements if inline elements could
take widths)
#bar{width:150p x;}
will give a width of 150px to the one element with id="bar".
(an id can only be used once per html file)
Thanks again for the prompt help,
You're welcome.

Two things, "Symbol" in that font-family is most likely NOT what you
want, as it creates literally symbols instead of text! so if
"Baskervill e" and "Heisi Mincho W3" does not exist, and "Symbol" does,
it will be used before any `serif` font.
Secondly for any style to be marked important, and over-ride any other
rule in _your_ stylesheets (since user and UA stylesheets can over-ride
this with the same keyword) add "!important " (without the quotes) to
the end of your CSS property description, before the semi-colon.
Such as
body { font-family: ariel, helvetica, "Times New Roman", sans-serif
!important; }
(from memory on that only)

Agreed,
as it creates literally symbols instead of text!
Not on a standards-conforming client, no. Symbol fonts aren't
constructed according to the principles of character representation in
HTML4 (RFC2070), and where this trick gives a visual impression of
working, it reveals only that the client agent isn't applying the
strict principles of HTML4, but is perpetuating a legacy trick that
was applied to earlier and simpler designs of HTML.
You'll see HTML4 done properly when Mozilla-based browsers are working
on standards-conformance mode.
Unless the client agent is aware somehow of which Unicode characters
are found at which position in the font, it shouldn't be using Symbol
fonts at all. It certainly shouldn't be seeing a Latin "q" and
displaying a "theta", and so on. Except perhaps when the charset is
user-defined. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
I've been using an Access application I wrote for an office with the

Now we're moving to a 2nd office 15 minutes down the road. Only one office

back-end manually every night from one office to another, but frankly,
that's pretty annoying.
