input[type="text"]
{
font:13px Arial, sans-serif;
text-transform:uppercase;
}

it is working fine. but now i need to change font for some textboxes. so i have create class in the same style sheet. code is
.fontchange
{
font:15px 'Times New Roman';
font-weignt:bolder;
text-transform:none;
}

i use this class for some of the textboxes. the font and weight are not changed but the text-transform is changed. i have installed the font in my machine. still it is not working. if i change the font for every text box like

<input id="txtName" font-family="fontname" type="text"/>

This is done all the time and this is why CSS are called "cascading".

You never show where you reference fontchange. For example:

XML

<input type="text"/><br/> <!-- should show your default 13px font -->
<input type="text" class="fontchange/> <!-- should show your changed 15x font -->

For font name, you can try the "font-family". With the weight, did you typed correctly "font-weight" and its property (bold, normal,...)?

You'll need to make the selector more specific. input[type="text"] takes preference over .fontchange. So change it to input[type="text"].fontchange instead.

You can always check what style is applied using the browser's development tools (or in case of Firefox, download Firebug[^]).

Try to update css as mentioned below (i have added '!important') :

.fontchange
{
font:15px somefontname !important;
font-weignt:somefontweight !important;
}
