I'm not sure if this is possible, but if a page uses a CSS style sheet
and you would still like to use good old <font> tags... is there a tag
to tell the browser to ignore the CSS formatting just for that table
cell?
I work for a company that has their website built from a 3rd party.
We're very restricted in how we can redesign the pages. The only
"content" we're allowed to add come in after the <head> tags... so the
CSS is already in place. So now if I create any text below using
<font> tags, the tags are ignored because of the use of CSS. And
unfortunately, we have no access to the style sheet to add in new
styles for our own text.
So I'm trying to find a table tag or something where I can tell the
browser to ignore the CSS formatting just for that instance of text.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

You could use the STYLE attribute within the table to define the CSS you
want used. E.g. if the content of a TD is supposed to be centred, you
can do:
<td style="text-align:center;">

What a strange thing to want.

No.

Ooops.

styles for our own text.
Does this third party also host the site? Sounds like the best solution
would be to find a provider that gave you the control you need.

They're not ignored, but they form part of the CSS cascade.
You can also use CSS. Wrap your content in a <div> with some
appropriate CSS in the style attribute. You can achieve most things
this way.
You could also inline a CSS stylesheet into the body of the page. This
isn't valid HTML, but it's a common and workable hack when outside
agencies control half the page (Anyone else had to try and integrate
with the infernal MSN ?)
And dump the unhelpful 3rd party developers.

They shouldn't be ignored. Doesn't inline take precedence over embedded CSS
& stylesheets? (Help me with the terms:) I mean, if you specify anything
right in the body using standard HTML, doesn't the browser display that
instead of the CSS?

Inline CSS does. HTML doesn't.

No, at least it shouldn't.

IE gives standard HTML precedence over CSS. I thought the other browsers did
as well. I'll check.
