Font-weight with div not working

[libweb]

Hi. On most all of my pages, I have a footer inside a div (div id="footer&quot with a couple of lines of text. In my style sheet, everything works as needed except the font-weight property. I want the font to be bold and I have tried using both "800" and "bold" but nothing will work. You can see one of the many pages with the footer at

This one has been baffling me for awhile. Any ideas? Thanks.

Remove the <p> and </p> tags fromt he footer, then it should work. I suspect that <p> is overriding the class set in the div tag.

Take Care,
Mike

Thanks, that was very helpful. I didn't want to remove the <p> because that part is in a template that is used in hundreds of pages, so instead I just changed around the style definitions for the <p>. There was no font-weight declared in <p>, but I had used the broad &quot;font&quot; declaration and that must have had something to do with it.

That got me on the right track. It's working now. Thanks again.
