Say I have a style:

.myTable TD{
  padding: 1px 3px 1px 3px;
  border-bottom: 1px solid ButtonFace;
  border-right-color: ButtonFace;
  border-right-style: solid;
  border-right-width: 1px;
  border-left-color: ButtonFace;
  border-left-style: solid;
  border-left-width: 1px;
  background-color: #FCFCFC;
  font-family:Arial, sans-serif;
  color:black;
  font-size:8pt;
  font-weight: normal;
}

and I wish to apply another style to a TD element within the same table.
<td class="classForThisTd" ></td>
The assigned class is not being rendered. Does anyone know how to override the inherited style or possible suggest a way to accomplish this.
Thank you,
FI

Overriding inherited styles

Hi

In the style, you could try adding !important to the end of the style, e.g.

height:100px !important;

Or you could try putting an id in the cell and setting the style on the id (Id overrides other styling), e.g.

<td id="tryme">

Overriding inherited styles

Can you post the actual code if the above does not work? It could be something as tiny as missing one capital letter...

Overriding inherited styles

This is what I did, I wrapped the my target td within another table and assigned a style to it:

<table class="ScrollerTable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

I then created:
.ScrollerTable TD{
    font-family:Arial, sans-serif;
    color:black;
    font-size:8pt;
    font-weight: normal;
    text-align: right;
    background-color: #EAEAEA;
    padding-left:  2px;
    padding-right: 3px;
    padding-top: 	5px;
    padding-bottom:3px;
    border-bottom: 0px solid ButtonFace;
    border-right-color: ButtonFace;
    border-right-style: solid;
    border-right-width: 0px;
    border-left-color: ButtonFace;
    border-left-style: solid;
    border-left-width: 0px;
  }

This solved my problems, thank you all for the time.
