<TD> font size attribute?.

[Dave Moore]

Hi,
I want to use CSS to define the font size in every cell of a table. This
avoids needing to define the font size in every <TD> tag using the normal
multiple HTML <FONT SIZE="2"> notation. Therefore my question is, Is there a
CSS attribute I can set on the <TD> tag that will set the size of any text
within the table cell?.

Regards,
Dave

td{font-size:100%;}

If you want this to be applied only to certain table cells, you add
class="certain"
to each <td>, and
td.certain{font-size:100%;}
in the CSS.

If for instance you want all <td>s in certain rows to take the effect,
you add the class to the <tr> instead of to the <td>, and use this in
the CSS:
tr.certain td{font-size:100%;}

Excellent idea. Some people will respond that you shouldn't use different
font sizes at all, but that is a different subject.

No need for that. CSS selectors can refer directly to elements. Example:

td {font-size: small;}
If you want to limit styles to a certain table, you can add a class
attribute to the table:

<table class="tablename"><tr><td>example</td></tr></table>

and refer to that:

table.tablename td {font-size: small;}
Any basic CS guide will help you with this. For example:
