Code:

<td style="padding: 4px;color:black;">

This will work, but you will need to override all other mark-up too.

So if you have defined this:

Code:

td {color:#f00;font-weight:bold;}

and then you put your piece in the HTML:

Code:

<td style="padding: 4px;color:black;">

You will end up with black text... but bold.

my current css is

Code:

<style type="text/css">
    <!--body {  background-image: url(http://sub.outallnite.co.uk/images/background.gif);   margin-left: 0px;   margin-top: 0px;    margin-right: 0px;  margin-bottom: 0px;}.style1 {   font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, sans-serif;   color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 14px;    font-weight: bold;}.style2 {color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 12px; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, sans-serif;}.style3 {color: #000000}.style5 {font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, sans-serif; color: #666666; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; }body,td,th { font-family: Trebuchet MS, Verdana, sans-serif; color: #FFFFFF;}a { font-family: Trebuchet MS, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;    color: #FFFFFF;}a:link {    text-decoration: none;}a:visited {  text-decoration: none;  color: #FFFFFF;}a:hover {   text-decoration: underline;}a:active {  text-decoration: none;}.style7 {color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 11px; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, sans-serif; }-->
    </style>

if thats any help i think i already have a TD defined not to sure.
shall i just add .td2 or something and then call it up by
<td style="td2" etc?

Well, you defined CSS between <style>-tags.

And in your first post, you wrote

Code:

<td style="padding: 4px;color:black;">

That's called "inline CSS", and it will always override the CSS you wrote between <style>-tags.

So it's no problem you already have defined TD in between your <style>-tags. The inline css will override that, but only for that specific TD.
