This is my code in HTML

<table class="tblStyle"><tr><td>
<b>text in bold</b> text in normal
</td></tr></table>

And this is my code in css style sheet

.tblStyle{
font: 10 arial;
}

the effect i expect was: text in bold text in normal
but, at the end the effect is: text in bold text in normal

it looks like css style sheet has corrupt the display. can someone tell me how to solve this?

I just tested this, and it does work. I don't see what the problem is

.tblStyle{
font: 10 arial;
}10 what? 10 pixels high? 10 ems? 10%? 10 miles?
Also, you should always specify a generic font in case the user doesn't have that font.

.tblStyle{
font: 110% Arial serif;
}

.tblStyle b {
font-weight: bold;
}

I don't think he/she wants the whole thing to be bold.

I'm sure s/he doesn't. I suspect s/he wants the <b> element to be bold, as I've specified in that style. :)

Yeah, but he set the bold html element, (in the css) to be bold, regardless of what the class does to it.

Ex

You make a class, for div.

<style type="text/css">
.blah {
font:12px arial
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="blah">Test</div>

but, you can also define element properties in the style sheets

.blah b {
font-weight:bold
}
