My view is the same as Douglas' on this issue. The behaviour of IE3 was a bug - well, limitation of the way we chose to implement CSS, actually. IE4 does not have this limitation - CSS rules or inline styles that apply to a FONT tag will override the FONT tag properties, but the font tag is not overridden by inherited stylesheet properties. -Chris Chris Wilson cwilso@microsoft.com *** > -----Original Message----- > From: Douglas Rand [SMTP:drand@sgi.com] > Sent: Friday, August 01, 1997 1:32 PM > To: David Perrell > Cc: www-style@w3.org; Todd Fahrner > Subject: Re: CSS vs. transitional markup [was: No Subject] > > David Perrell wrote: > > Does IE honor stylesheet attributes for FONT over inline ones?
