No.  If application of CSS is not doing what you expect, chances are it's 
due to one of several reasons:

(1)  The class doesn't exist in the source code.  (I can't find a 
bibHoldings class in the Phase 3 WebOPAC (and I don't think there was one 
in Phase 2, was there?).

(2)  There's an error (or errors) in the style sheet.

(3)  Browser quirkiness and/or non-supporting browsers.

(4)  Trying to apply a property to an element which doesn't accept that 
property.  (Sometimes a style cannot be applied to an element because of 
the CSS standard;  sometimes it's because of #3 (browser quirkiness).)

What styles are you trying to apply which are not working?
