[TYPO3] Apply a style to an entire content element

[Simon Browning]

So here's what we did.  Thanks all for your help.

In the Type section of the text element (have to click show secondary 
options to see it) in the Frame dropdown selected "Frame 1".

This wrapped the text element with:

<div class="csc-frame csc-frame-frame1">

So then we just created a class .csc-frame-frame1 in our stylesheet with 
the styling we wanted (copying and pasting from our .specialbox style) 
and about 90 seconds later we were done.

I'd never paid any attention to that frame dropdown before, I had 
assumed (uh oh, what have I done to u and me?) it had to do with page 
frames.
