Fortunately, that's not >the case. Actually, I just tested this in Navigator 4.01. I think you left off the "font:" property there, but Navigator doesn't understand that anyway. When I use: BODY { font-size: 8pt; } Navigator 4.01 applies this font size to every element, including H1 and H2 elements. >Reader/default style declarations are not overcome by inheritance, only >by contrary declarations. So, that seems to be the problem -- the engineers at Netscape missed the same thing that I missed: inherited values don't outweigh initial/default UA style sheet values. Houston, we have a problem. -- E. Stephen Mack <estephen@emf.net> http://www.emf.net/~estephen/Received on Sunday, 27 July 1997 05:36:34 GMT
