What tag do you modify in a stylesheet to have all text appear in a certain color/font?

??? { font-family: Arial; color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold }

What goes in place of the ???

What if multiple styles are needed? e.g.
H1.black {font-color: black; font-family: sans-serif}

H1.blue {font-color: blue; font-family: sans-serif}

They are possible but how do you accomplish the same with BODY tags? You certainly can't have more than 1 pair.

body.black {font-color: black; font-family: sans-serif}

body.blue {font-color: blue; font-family: sans-serif}

I guess then you could just assign different classes for each. The body.style is just a simple catch all.

I thought it was the body tag! But Iwas retro-fitting some pages and the style sheet was clashing with some of the font commands that were already in the page.

I just started playing with CSS and i am finding that I like it for conveinence.

Now, what are the cross browser compatibility issues. What does and doesn't work in IE and NN? I.e. I noticed that NN does not support the hover command.

Cross-browser issues in CSS are dealt with in a lot of detail here:
