Easy CSS Question

[GoogleSher]

Hi,

I am new to CSS and up until now have been applying a "MainText" style
to tables on my website to standardise the text. However, I have
noticed that if I place a table within a table, the Style of the
original table does not apply to the nested table. Do I need to
specify a style for each separate table?

Is there an easier way of applying a "Default" text style to a page...
without having to apply it to each table.

Thanks,

Neil.

You're doing this, I presume:

..MainText {...}
with
<table class="MainText">...</table>

For default styling, just use:

table {...}
with
<table>...</table>

Use doctype that browsers like

Some doctypes makes browsers forget that styles should be inherited in
tables. They also do all sorts of other mistakes. Purposefully.
