I'm editing the syllabus of an existing class that someone else has set up. The column widths of the table are off. The 4th column with links should be big and the 1st & 2nd column with dates and names should be small, but the opposite is true.
I'm very familiar with HTML and CSS.
I looked at the table's HTML and the <td> tags have a style defining the width on every <td> tag, so I could do a global replace, but this is not a good HTML coding standard. Also, there are multiple conflicting width definitions on a single tag, so it's kind of a mess that I'd like to clean up.
I'd prefer to define a CSS class for each of the 4 columns so it's easy to edit in one place, but when I edit the syllabus page I don't have access to the page <head> tag, so I don't see that I can do it at the HTML level.
Is there a way for me to edit the CSS? Or is there a way in the editor to manipulate the column widths globally?
