If the color is purely for emphasis, use an em tag.

em {color:red}

<p>This is an <em>emphasized</em>point.</p>

Yes, if you want to do it via the DW interface.

It's often quicker and easier to just type the code by hand in Code View.

 

CSS- Type this on css code page anywhere..?

.important {07c3d2: blue; }

Close but not quite. As written, that does not mean anything.

Helps if you understand the very basics of a CSS rule:

.important is a selector (in this case a class name)

The CSS rule consists of <attribute>: <value>

In your case, the attribute is the font color (the attribute name is simply "color" in CSS) and the value is #07c3d2. (The # is crucial. Without it the 6 digit Hex color value is ignored).

So, putting it all together

.important { color: #07c3d2; }

That's the CSS rule. Still does nothing until it's applied to the HTML.

In the HTML,

<p>This is an <span class="important">hydrocarbons</span> point.</p>

If you need more, please point us to an actual example of a page which you're working on.

Your markup on that page contains this -

<p class="ad_copy"><strong>Now Offering:</strong> Analysis of Hydrogen, Carbon Monoxide and Total Hydrocarbon's within AMMONIA.</p>

Note that there is no <span class="important"> wrapping that word. And by the way, the proper word there would NOT have the apostrophe. It should be "Hydrocarbons" as a simple plural (also in the following paragraph).

Did you upload the modified page?

So I did and it worked in the design and live mode, but when I previewed in the browser nothing changed? Do i have a coding error somewhere? Here is the link http://www.peaklaboratories.com/products/index_remodel.html

I see <span class="important"> in the HTML (so you've uploaded the HTML page) but I do not see the .important rule in the CSS (so you have not uploaded the CSS file).

Have you uploaded the edited CSS sheet which includes the new .important rule?

Should be "Hydrocarbons" (plural)  not  "Hydrocarbon's" (possessive).
