CSS Question

[jumpthru]

I am new to CSS and had some questions about this test page I made at http://www.jumpthru.com/css/

I copied the code from the style sheet to the bottom of that page.

1) How come the middle word "testing" inhereted the color green, and the font verdana, but not the size of the others.

2) How come none of them are blinking?

Thanks.

jumpthru,

Try specifying the font attributes to specific elements instead of in the body:

p,td,li
{
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:10pt;
text-decoration:blink;
color: #00FF00
}

I thought that might be the problem. But I just figured TD and the others would inherit the properties from the body tag.

And I have topstyle...getting it wont help answer my question on why those words didn't inherit the properties.

Inheritance just doesn't work that way, disappointing as it may be.

try using an ID instead of a class.

I cant even get the blink css function to work at all even when specifically stating in the document to make it blink. arg.

If I remember correctly, blink does not work in IE.

[jumpthru]

Reaaallly.

[duckie]

Yes, but it does work in Netscape.

I forget netscape invented the blink tag.

It was probably smart for IE not to support it. It sure is annoying.

But still, youd think IE did it just to keep up with the times...

Oh well, I dont care, I never use it, and now that I think about I never see sites that do (thank god). Makes me mad I would pick a tag not supported for testing purposes.

Maybe IE used to have it then dropped it? I dunno.
