Greetings. As you will be able to tell, I'm a CSS rookie. My doubt is,
if the body contains all the other containers, why does body { ... }
behave different from * { ... }? Aren't properties supposed to
cascade? Inheritable properties at least, no? But then I find that
body { color:black; }
and
* { color:black; }
yield different results. For example, the links do not appear in black
in the first case, even though the a selector lives inside the body
selector and the color property is inheritable.
Shed some light, please.
Best regards,
Utterly confused
