Question

Given a table that I want to integrate into a cCMS site, the overall stylesheet overwrites the inline style of the table… how can I prevent the stylesheet from doing it?

The table I have looks something like this and gets overwritten by the stylesheet…

<table id="idferthis" BORDER=1 RULES=NONE FRAME=BOX width="644" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5">
  <tr>
    <th id="toptopper" bgcolor="#6a8044" align="right" scope="row">HIPHOO</th>
    <td bgcolor="#afd46c" align="center">SOMETHIN</td>
    <td bgcolor="#afd46c" align="center">SOMETHINELSE</td>
  </tr>
....
</table>    

Answer 1

try this after the element you want to be overriden

!important;

so an example would be

<td style="color:#000; !important;">Black Text</td>

This would override a style sheet with black text.
