new class in style.css

[business +]

this must be simple.. but couldn't get it working.
I want to create a new class in style.css that formats the listing title. currently it's using <th>. I created a new one <thtitle> and copied the formating from <th> and customized it a bit. But when i use the class <thtitle> in the view listing template, the title is not formated as I would expect... what am i not doing?
thanks

below is the default <th> and the new one I have created as a test.. with bigger font size, change color and no background image. then instead of <th></th> in viewlisting, I use <thtitle></thtitle>. Is this the way I do it?

th{
	background:url(../images/th.jpg) repeat-x;
	color: #FFF;
	font-weight: bold;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #D6D5D6;
	text-indent: 5px;
	padding: 5px;
	margin: 5px;
	font-size: 10px;
	text-align: left;
}
thtitle{
	color: #00008B;
	font-weight: bold;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #D6D5D6;
	text-indent: 5px;
	padding: 5px;
	margin: 5px;
	font-size: 15px;
	text-align: left;
}

No. There is no such element as <thtitle>

You may want to go through some basic HTML, CSS at w3schools.com. It has several free tutorials for many essentials for the web.

You would either want to use <th class="your_new_class_name"> or <div class="your_new_class_name"><th>.
