Targeting Tagless Text? with stylesheet

[Ambitions]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but im just wondering if a can target text within a DIV that has no <p> tags or heading tags.

for example, in my 'productDescription' DIV i have an image and text. to target the image i just put:

#productDescription img {
}

but how would i target text in the same DIV?

heres my website if this helps, http://www.clickpurchase.co.uk
- The DIV im referring to is when you select a product, it has image and description.

thanks in advance :)

You already have the div so just add any styling you desire like what I added in red or??

#productDescription {
	margin-left: 50px;
        color: #ff0000;
        font-size: 1.5em;
        }

Hi, thanks for the reply.

This also effects the image in the same div, say for instance applying a background colour to the text, then the image also is given this background colour. I just want to apply it to the text within the DIV.

If you want to give a background to the text that doesn't include the image area, you will have to add <p>, <div>, <span> or other tags in the description. This is under user control, so what is the problem with doing this? If you are importing the description verbatim from a supplier, consider that your content is the same as everyone else who has the same product, and try adding something to make your content different/better.
Also, if you use the product image feature in the info page, the image will be separate from the text, and automatically have an alt tag for search engine use.

You should be able to do something similar to this:

#productDescription {
margin-left: 50px;
background-color: #ff0000;
}

#productDescription img {
background: none;
}

Thanks, i will take all of that into consideration. The reason adding tags to the descreption is a problem is because id have to go back to all my current products individually adding the tags and this would be very time consuming. Although if theres no other way then i have no choice

Kerrin - The background would still surround the image even though it would not be behind it, as the image is inside the description div.
