Does IE honor stylesheet attributes for FONT over inline ones? FONT is an element like any other. When its inline style attributes are not overridden by a CSS declaration, shouldn't those attributes override the parent? Seems to me authors wanting to use FONT should also declare stylistic attributes for FONT in the stylesheet. Those stylesheet attributes should then override the inline declarations. Giving some special significance to the FONT and BASEFONT elements is unnecessary. I tried this in IE3.02, and it worked as expected. CSS1 declaration trumped the inline declaration. David Perrell
