Hi Hope, This was bugging me for ages too. I don't know _why_ it does it but my workaround to-date has simply been to implicitly set font-size for p, td and li. My table and list text usually display larger when I only set the font-size in the body element.
I've asked this question before but is there a "standard" way to set the font size across all elements (irrespsective of inheritance)? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hope Stewart Sent: Monday, 4 July 2005 11:12 AM To: Web Standards Group Subject: [WSG] font size in a table I created a simple webpage containing a few paragraphs, a list and a table (for tabular data). For some reason that I cannot for the life of me work out, the font size of the text is much bigger in the table than elsewhere on the page. (Tested in FF, Safari, Opera/mac). It's driving me nuts! I want the text in the table to be the same size as elsewhere! What am I doing wrong??? Could someone please enlighten me? A mock-up of the page is here: http://hopestew.customer.netspace.net.au/ And the css is here: http://hopestew.customer.netspace.net.au/css/style1.css Hope Stewart ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
