[Dojo-interest] How do I override a widget CSS class?

[Sol Kindle]

Good question.  I override the default styles by incresing the CSS rule 
specificity.

The CSS rule from tree.css is :

.dojoTree {
    font: caption;
    font-size: 11px;
    font-weight: normal;
    overflow: auto;
}

If you look at the tree template string (in tree.js) you will see that 
the entire tree widget is contained in <div /> tags:

 <div class="dojoTree"></div>

I would override with my own CSS file by defining:

div.dojoTree {
    font:/ myfont/;
}

By adding the 'div' to the front of the rule, I have increased 
specificity and my custom rule wins.

DISCLAIMER: I did not actually try this example -- but hopefully you get 
the idea.
