hey everyone,
I am having trouble figuring out how to use different styles within the same P tag...

say I want to have something like

FREE SHIPPING - Check it out!

How the heck would I use two different styles in the same paragraph?... usually I end up with something like this

Code:

<p class="Maroon_3">FREE SHIPPING</p>
<p class="Red_2">check it out!</p>

which obviously it will not come out looking how I want it too...

I am really having trouble figuring this out!

HTML Code:

<p class="Maroon_3">FREE SHIPPING <span class="Red_2">check it out!</span></p>

What James said. You could also wrap a span around FREE SHIPPING and not specifically style the paragraph or style the paragraph for any other words you might have.

<span>s display inline by default which makes them useful for styling portions of text within a paragraph.

**** I see, so SPAN is kind of like the new FONT? Will play around with it a bit, thanks for the help guys!

Not at all, but it can work LIKE a <font> tag in this instance.
