No, though that is one way. The other way is to class all of the
cells that share a column, and style via that class. A simple
example:
<table>
<tr>
<td class="city">New York</td>
<td class="amnt">$6,123</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="city">Boston</td>
<td class="amnt">$5,627</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="city">Cleveland</td>
<td class="amnt">$7,111</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="city">Chicago</td>
<td class="amnt">$5,966</td>
</tr>
</table>
Now you can style each column uniquely.
Yes, the city names could probably be th element with scope="row",
and then you could dump all the class names for this example, but
pretend it's a table with more than two columns. Also, the markup
there isn't very accessible, but it's good enough to illustrate the
point I'm making. I hope.
