I've had time to experiment with the suggestions for controlling text in p
tags within a content div and have experienced the following:

My content div is named: < div id="sdy53_54">. When

#sdy53_54 p {
(your styling goes here) }

is placed in the external style sheet and it affects all text in the
sdy53_54 content div that are within p tags. Any text that is not within a p
tag has no style. So the id is working. (I'm still in the process of
updating blocks of text from <br> to <p> tags.)

If I apply a class style from the external style sheet to an individual
paragraph...for instance a header or subheader within that content div, it
appears to be overridden by the content div paragraph id. The class has no
effect. How can I apply a class style to text within the content div
governed by the #sdy53_54 p id, short of removing the p tags around the
header text and applying a block style. Is there a more elegant way of
creating a separate style for a p tag within the #sdy53_54 p id?

I'd also like to understand the relationship of using em instead of px for
text size. I experimented a bit an it seems that 1em is equivalent to about
13 or 14 px, but above 1 em the text gets really large. Do you have any
suggestons on using em instead px for text size?

So confusing!

Thanking you in advance...

Carol
