I have implemented in the snews.php a div class-tag around the article text. If I use div id the site doesn't validate (since there's an id for every single article), so I must use class. My problem is that I can't define the p-tag inside a class, only an id.

Validation error:
#article_text { }
#article_text p { }

Doesn't work:
.article_text { }
.article_text p { }

Any suggestions of a way through the dark tunnel?

Long time ago since I have validated css. If my memory isn't failing, w3c wants the element defined like this:

div#article_text { }
div#article_text p { }
Of course there can be only one.

or

div.article_text { }
div.article_text p { }

If this is not workin', most likely there are values set for element 'div' or 'p' further down the stylesheet.

Nope, you don't need to set div# or div. it's sufficient with either # or the dot .

It's not the CSS but the XHTML who fails validation.

But it's okay. Patric and I have almost solved it. We have a couple of solutions.
