No, you are both wrong in opposite ways. The user agent defaults are just style sheets and an important part in the cascade. <http://css-class.com/test/css/defaults/UA-style-sheet-defaults.htm> Note that <b> and <strong> have the same defaults (I think that there is a mistake concerning FF) and <i> and <em> have the same defaults. They are part of the cascade of style sheets from user agent, user to author which we know as CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). BTW, the browser implementors are following the specs. <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#cascade> -- Alan http://css-class.com/ Armies Cannot Stop An Idea Whose Time Has Come. - Victor Hugo ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
