Not all CSS properties are inherited. Background color is one of the ones that is not inherited. The td doesn't inherit the background color of the tr, so it keeps its own color. This is an inheritance issue, not a specificity one. You can see which properties are and are not inherited here: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/propidx.html Zoe -- Zoe M.
