A good point! By "set these values previously", Mark means "set these values further up the document tree".
For example, if you set "font-weight: bold" on a container (like a <div> element), this will be inherited by elements within that container (like content within a <p> element). In these particular circumstances you would set "font-weight: normal" on the <p> element to turn the bold off. However, as Mark says, in most circumstances you would not need to specify "font-weight: normal" on each element. More on the document tree (critical in coming to terms with CSS) here: http://css.maxdesign.com.au/selectutorial/document_tree.htm Russ > One more thing: > > font-variant: normal; > font-style: normal; > font-stretch: normal; > font-size-adjust: none > > These are all completely redundant because they are the default values. > Unless you have reset these values previously, you don't need to set them to > their default values. ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *****************************************************
