I am using a set of php scripts as user authentication. There are a number of "front end" pages that users can go to, such as a login screen, etc. But, you can also do a php include so that the html from the various php pages just gets embedded in your own documents.

All the front end pages are center justified. When I do a php include to bring in the html the entire document (not just the included html) becomes center justifed- including my sidenav text. Is there a way to overrided the css that dictates this? Can I put something in my document that overrides whatever css might come with the included file?

I hope this is not too vague.

... er can you not make a class for the stuff you want non-centered with attributes like "text-align: left" , "align: left" or whatever?

Isn't that the whole point to cascading style sheets? being able to override and all that?

skalie,
you're talking to a novice.

[skalie]

We're all novices, even those of us that don't realise it anymore.

If I understand it correctly, if you link a style sheet, or include it, you can then override it with a stylesheet under it in the header, then override it even later by adding attributes in the actual tags.

I'm not very clever with the correct terminology, but I'm hoping you get the gist of what I'm saying.

How about giving a sample page or in-line example?

Skalie's right, this is why they're called Cascading style sheets. They're meant to flow downward.

As it is, you could write your PHP to trim the tags out of the include that you don't want.

Do you have a link? It sounds like something in the PHP include may be doing something strange to the HTML code in the page.
