This is probably a really stupid question and it is probably going to make you laugh at my stupidity, but:
How do I make text on a page conform to a css style even if it does not have the style tags around it, so what I mean is, how do you set a default text style for a page?

you can't..... it depends on your visitors browser configuration... it's up to him to decide what the defaults are..

You probably understand but I will explain what I mean more,
I have a text style in a css file, how do I set it so that all the text written on that page conforms to that style, instead of having to put tags around all my html pieces in a php document.

If i understand well.... in your css
Code: Select all
body {
// set text style thingies here...
}

I've got it now, I just used the tags and put it around the whole document, so whatever is printed is included in the style

Basic CSS like timvw mentioned
Code: Select all
/*
Classes
Behaviour: Appies to anything with class="e;classname"e; as an attribute
*/
.classname { attributes:values; }
/*
By ID tags
Behaviour: Applies to anything with id="e;IDTagname"e; as an attribute,
-- classes dominate anything that clashes.
*/
#IDTagname { attributes:values; }
/*
By XHTML Element
Behaviour: Applies to anything that is inside this <elementname></elementname>
-- IDTags dominate anything that clashes.
*/
elementname { attributes: values; }
/*
NOTE: You can combine these together however suits too.....
*/
