I thought I'd toss this one at the list and see what came back. Note
that the Big Two browsers disagree concerning the answer to the following
question. I can understand the rationale behind both answers. Thus I
bring it before you.
Say I have the following markup, assuming no other styles in the document:
<BODY style="background-color: silver;">
<P style="background-color: red;">
This paragraph has a
<SPAN style="background-color: transparent;">red</SPAN> background.
</P>
</BODY>
What is the background color of the word "red?"
