New page

Could it just be because you left out the "table" part of the first selector? table.wikitable selects all tables of class wikitable. Just .wikitable should technically select all elements of type wikitable.

However, due to the rules of CSS selectors, "table.wikitable" is [http://vanseodesign.com/css/css-specificity-inheritance-cascaade/ more specific] than ".wikitable" and thus the "table.wikitable" selector will get chosen instead of the ".wikitable" one.

About the *: Not 100% sure, I just copied the selector that the default stylesheet used to style the tables. My guess would be that tr tags have to be placed inside tbody or thead tags, and some browsers might differentiate between those. Either way, best to just leave them in like that so we don't lose any specificity ^^

Oh, and if it refuses to work despite having the same <span style="font-weight:normal;">specificity, then we might have to just add an "!important". It's bad style, but eh, who cares :P</span>
