msn explorer font size
I tried, separately, both your class selector suggestion and your SPAN element suggestion.

When I used the class selector code below the text in the table was all the same small font size, but not the font that I wanted to use (it looks like Times New Roman, but may be another font). This was the case in both NS and IE browsers:

<style>
.mystyle {font-size:11px}
td.mystyle {font-size:11px}
tr td.mystyle {font-size:11px}
table tr td.mystyle {font-size:11px}
div table tr td.mystyle {font-size:11px}
</style>

When I used the class selector code below the text in the table was all the same font size, but it was a larger font size than the results displayed for the case above despite the fact that the font-size was supposed to be 11px for both cases. The font was also not Verdana (again it looks like Times New Roman):

<style>
.mystyle {font-family:Verdana font-size:11px}
td.mystyle {font-family:Verdana font-size:11px}
tr td.mystyle {font-family:Verdana font-size:11px}
table tr td.mystyle {font-family:Verdana font-size:11px}
div table tr td.mystyle {font-family:Verdana font-size:11px}
</style>

I had the same results listed above when I used the SPAN element:

<span style="font-size:11px">

vs.

<span style="font-family:Verdana font-size:11px">

Am I not setting the style correctly to display Verdana font that is 11px in both NS 4.27 and IE?

the combination of netscape, table cells, and CSS has always been a pain to
deal with. here are my two suggestions, certainly one of them will work for
you.


First, when using a class selector such as:
<td class="mystyle">foo</td>
you will want to be very (very!) redundant with the definition:
<style>
.mystyle {font-size:11px}
TD.mystyle {font-size:11px}
TR TD.mystyle {font-size:11px}
TABLE TR TD.mystyle {font-size:11px}
DIV TABLE TR TD.mystyle {font-size:11px}
</style>
this has always worked for me in NS4, once i found the right combinations.

Second, since netscape has so much trouble with TD's, you could do almost
exactly what you originally planned by using the SPAN element:
<TD><span style="font-size:11px">foo</span></TD>
changing your original template to output this format would be very simple
-- and should work fine for what you need to do.  Just dont try to use
background-color here.

good luck,
Marty
