'inherit' was already mentioned in the CSS 2.0 text: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html#propdef-clear I guess that makes it official :-) (I'm not sure how useful this is, though, never really thought about it. Perhaps I should blame IE, again, with its general lack of support for the inherit keyword) Philippe --- Philippe Wittenbergh http://l-c-n.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
