How to apply font to entire table?

[Dave]

How do I apply a font name to an entire HTML table without specifying it in
each cell/row, or applying a CSS ID to each cell or row?

Use CSS on the table.

table {
font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Use CSS on the table.

table {
font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Or, if you only want it to apply to a specific table, give it an ID
and

table#mytableID { font-family: ...; }

or for a particular kind of table, define a class for tables of that
type, and

table.mytableclass { font-family: ...; }

To apply one set of properties to header cells (TH) and another to
data cells (TD),

table TD { ... }
table TH { ... }

or

table#mytableID TD { ... }

etc.

OP: Or make sure IE6 is in Standards Mode (correct DocType line, nothing
in front of it -- no spaces either) and your table will inherit font
properties as it should.
