Topic: CSS Cascading

Hi,

Is it okay to set the font attributes of a table who's class is "xxxx" as in the following style (and expect the TD elements, and other elements found in the "xxxx" table to adhere to these font settings?):

.xxxx {
width:400px;
background:#F8EFB6;
border:solid 1px C8C8C8;
font-family:verdana;
font-size:10px;
color:green;
}

Or, it it necessary to add the style

.xxxx td {
font-family:verdana;
font-size:10px;
color:green;
}

If the table is set to class "xxxx", the <td>'s themselves should inherit most of the formatting.

However, a <p> or other such elements might not, depending on whether or not you've defined them elsewhere.

Best bet is to define whatever elements will be in the table -

.xxxx, .xxxx td, .xxxx p, .xxxx ul
{
blah
blah
blah
}

to make sure you've got yourself covered.

It shouldn't be necessary to specify anything for the TD or anything in it, except in NN4 which screws up tables with CSS.
