in the file you would put CSS. if you don't know CSS, learn it (very easy, just search for CSS tutorials on the net, that's how i learned).

CSS can work by defining the properties of anything within a tag. for example, in file.css you could have:

B {color: red}

.dans1 {
color: blue;
font-size: 11pt;
font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;
}

body {color: yellow}

.....end of file.css don't type this, just to let you know.....

ok. First, the B {} section will make all bold text where you've used the <B> </B> tags red as well. Next, .dan1 can be used like so in the body of your html document:

and "text goes here" would have all the properties defined in .dans1 {}

next, body {} applies these properties to anything within <BODY> </BODY> tags. Because these encompass your whole main body of the html document, you are basically putting global CSS here... although what works in IE might not work in NS so you'll have to play around with it.

that help?
