Question

CSS Reset for one div

Answer 1

A:

You need to define a CSS rule for the text. Give it a class. E.g.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>Test</title>
        <style>
            .reset * { color: black; }         
            .red { color: red; }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="reset"><span class="red">text</span></div>
    </body>
</html>

Note that I replaced the since 1998(!) deprecated <font> tag by a <span>.

Answer 2

A:

Have you considered using one div inside another instead of using the tag?. Something like this:

<div class="reset_this_div">
  <div style="color: red !important;">This is reformatted</div>
</div>

I have, although the contents of the div aren't static - its user-submitted HTML, the contents of a textarea submitted on a previous page so practically anything could be in there thats kind of why I'm trying to reset everything and then let the user style their own html.

but the problem with color happens only with <font>, so you must consider that the <font> tag is already deprecated, like BalusC said, so, good support for this tag would be impossible to give to that code
