Ahh, I see! thank you. That was one of the things I was confused over with CSS. those types of differences. Back when I coded that site, CSS was very new to me. Thank you for the tip about how to redo it so that a class isnt needing to be defined for each .

Saw all kinds of stuff like that in a template i was looking at, and boy that was confusing till I looked some of them up, like:

#buttons>ul#mainlevel-nav li a

When I first saw that, I was stumped HAHA. Slowly figured it out what it ment

It should be .bodycontent a (links within the bodycontent elements) not a.bodycontent (links with the bodycontent class applied). Even so, all the basic font information should transfer down with the .bodycontent class. Can we see an example of where this is happening?

When you're structuring a page you should avoid having to ad a class to every p tag as well. In this case the CSS should be applied to an outer container or whatever is holding the paragraphs. So you might have this:

<div id="content">
<p class="bodyContent">Our graduate <a href="#placement">placement</a> rate is 85% to 90% over the past five years.</p>
</div>

CSS:

#bodyContent p {all styles here }
#bodyContent p a:link {should inherit p styles above}
