Topic: CSS+TABLE=EVIL (Page 1 of 1)

OK so this is really annoying. In my tiny little style sheet I have the following:

<STYLE>
BODY {background-color:#000000; color:#CCCCCC; font-size:14px;}
</STYLE>

and on my page I have some writing inside a table, now for some strange reason that writing inside the table is the right color, but the font-size is not working. I even tried to change the font-size to 144px and it didn't have any effect on the writing inside the table. Can anyone tell me why?

try this:

BODY, TD {background-color:#000000; color:#CCCCCC; font-size:14px;}

s t e p h e n

maninacan: What have you tested this in? NS4.x and some browsers from the same period had problems with lots of some tags and it was always best to go for:

body, td, th, p {
BODY FONT STYLE
}

So this might help fix you problem. I did think that any inheritance problems had been fixed in more recent browsers but if the text works right outside of the table, there are no styles on the table and there are no FONT tags then that may be your solution.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's a bug that you just have to workaround with what Twitch said.
