CSS - additional rule for specific internal tag

I want to create a style rule (class) and give it in the <TABLE> tag (e. g. <TABLE CLASS="blah">. But whenever there is a <TD> in the table, I want an additional rule for the td (e. g. give a border to that td, but not to each element in the td, or any other element in the table), without having to write another class and then do <TD CLASS="blah1">. This is to avoid typing multiple <TD CLASS="blah1"> with each cell and therefore to cut down on HTML cource code.

So my HTML would look like:


<TABLE CLASS="blah">
<TR>
<TD>something
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>something
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>


instead of

<TABLE CLASS="blah">
<TR>
<TD CLASS="blah1">something
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD CLASS="blah1">something
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>


Does anyone have any idea how I write the style sheet? I tried this:

.blah,
.blah a: link,
.blah a: visited
{ primary rules }
td.blah: { additional rule for td }

but it does not work.

Thank you very much for your time!

How about just:

td {
border: 1px solid #555;
}

table.blah td {additional rules}

Hi _Aerospace_Eng_ and Jutlander

Thank you for your time! I did something pretty close:


.blah td {additional rule for td }


...which worked. Thank you again!

Just FYI, you did the same as Aero suggested, except for writing 'table' before the period. This is optional whether you want to do that or not, I do it too because it makes it easier to keep track of classes and ID's.
