i'm am having problems with my css rules not being inherited in tables. for example:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<style>
body {
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 12px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is sample text. This is sample text.</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td>This is sample text. This is sample text.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
when you look at this, the font-size rule is ignored for the text in the table. is this the way its supposed to work?
thanks
I've just tested ion Win XP with Firebird, Opera 7.21 and IE6 in an XHTML 1.1 document - and whatever I make the font-size they all appear the same. What's your browser/OS?

Hi,
In quirks mode font settings do not get inherited into tables.
Read all about it here:

Hope that helps.
