Darn! I was hoping you were going to say I was wrong .

Well I was trying to use CSS to format all of the asp: link buttons the same you can't do that with css but you can with a theme. Since allof the applications I am trying to merge rely more on ASP control than on html elements, I have to make use of themes to have the same effect. Is there some other what to do it?

One more question. This may sound like a stupid one, but what is the differnce between the "." and the "#" when creating the classes?

Thank you very much. I have learned that CSS and ASP.net don't necessarily play well together like I thought they would. So I am off to learn about themes and custom adapters. I think it is going to be more work than I originally thought, but well worth it from a maintenance perspective. :cool:

Hi, I have been reading a lot of tutorials and researching CSS for the past week and I feel like I am just not getting it. Maybe I'm just missing a key concept or something or I just may have it all wrong. I thought the whole concept was that I could use CSS to apply formatting to all of the elements in my page in one place without having to repeat the same code over and over again. I develop web applications in .net and I have been tasked with trying to combine about 10 different applications into one and make them all have the same color scheme. I though I could set up a CSS file to make all of the data grids, buttons, drop downs and other user controls look the same and at the same time format the application without using tables. I am having problems with understating how to write the CSS for anything other than div, , a , etc. I feel like I almost understand what to do, but it is just not coming together for me. Okay so I have rambled on and I don't even know if I am asking the right type of question. Can anyone help? ---Dazed and confused.
