Want CLASS= spec in one place for table text, not many

I set up a CSS class for a specific font to be used for all text throughout a table. I tried putting the table in between two <DIV> tags so that I would only have to specify the class once...as in <DIV class=...>. That failed even in IE5. I tried putting the class=... in the <table> tag and that worked in IE5 and Opera 6 but failed in NS4.7.

What is the smartest way to do this? I currently have the class=... in all <TD>s that have text in them. It's error-prone and more work. The table is being "written out" with javascript but that shouldn't matter at all.

NS 4.7 has VERY POOR CSS support. Live with it or don't support it. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
