I have a cascading style sheet with a setting for td , and then I am using a gridview and trying to set forcolor on the row to change the font color and I can't

I need direction on what overrides what.  Style cheet verses inline style tags, verses property settings on a control.  I have a CSS style sheet that sets my font to white as I have a blue background.  

body, th, td, textarea, option, textbox {
      font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Times New Roman", Arial, Times, serif;
      color: #FFFFFF;
      /*background-color: #222222;*/
}

the problem is I have a gridview where I need the font color to not be white.  When a gridview is renderred it creates td for the rows and cells and it appears that the style sheet values for td override any property values I set on the gridview.

Here is my gridview code.

<ASP:GridView id="NavGridView" runat="server" DataKeyNames="LeadID" Font-Size="9pt" AllowPaging="True" ForeColor="#132144" OnPageIndexChanging="NavGridView_Page" PageSize="1" ShowHeader="False" BackColor="#132144" BorderColor="#132144">
        <Columns>    
            <asp:BoundField  SortExpression="LeadID" Datafield="LeadID" >
                <ItemStyle Width="50px" />
            </asp:BoundField>
        </Columns>
        <RowStyle BorderColor="#132144" ForeColor="#132144" />
        <PagerSettings Mode="NextPreviousFirstLast" PageButtonCount="1" FirstPageText="&amp;lt;&amp;lt;First" LastPageText="Last &amp;gt;&amp;gt;" NextPageText="Next&amp;gt;" PreviousPageText="&amp;lt;&amp;lt;Pre"  />
        <PagerStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" BackColor="#132144" ForeColor="White" />
    </ASP:GridView>

The text of the gridview row is still white.  How do I override this????? Anyone?

I have tried setting a custom id based CSS definition for the tr surrounding the gridview, and still the font is white.  I can affect other things like Capitilization of the font, I just can not change the color.Start Free Trial
