If I have css which affects body, can I bypass it

[sedokill]

if i have css which affects the whole body, can i bypass it with another css variable.

As i have:

$css = "<style>
body
{
text-align:center;
padding:0; margin:0;
background-image:url(../images/bg2.gif);
color: #666666;
font-family: tahoma;
font-size: 11px;
text-align: left;
}
p:footer {font-family: tahoma;font-size:5px;color:#ffffff;text-decoration:none;}
A:active {text-decoration: none}
A:link {text-decoration: none;}
A:visited {text-decoration: none; color: darkblue;}
A:hover {text-decoration: none; color: darkred;}
</style>";


however i cant get the footer thing to take effect what do i need to do

Thanks
