Hello, I know I could probably find a tutorial on the Internet but sometimes I find it better to just ask people who can answer my specific questions. Anyway, I am a rookie with HTML and I have heard good things about 'CSS' and I just had a couple of queries:

1. What is the basic CSS code to have your background color/font style-colour-size already done? Once this is done it will make for example your font 'Verdana size '2'' for the whole HTML document?

2. Does CSS also affect the text & colours within tables?

Thanks for your time.

DM

If you want to add it to the whole document, apply the css styles to the body & html tag. The body will usually work but not in every browser thats why we need the html tag as well.
And to answer your second question. Css and html 4.0 (xhtml as well) were not meant to be marked up with tables. This means that you need to structure your document with better markup. These being <div>, <p>, <span>, <h1>,<h2>,<h3>,<ul>,<li> and some others i cant think of.

You can do almost anything a table can do with <div>'s, in alot less code.
