[SOLVED] Why isn't this working?

[MsRedImp]

I have a feeling this has something to do with where I placed the tags. For some reason this div tag isn't taking any effect on the text inside, if I change the color or size nothing happens. It may have something to do with the tables, but if I put it before the <td> and after the </td> it works, any help please?

 

<div style="color: #FFFFFF; font-size:5px">
  <tr bgcolor="#336699">
    <td><b>1st</b></td>
    <td><b>Matt Smith</b></td>
  </tr>
</div>
