I was certainly puzzled when I read it, and there is nothing in the CSS1 Recommendation that describes inheritance not working for tables. I think what they might mean in practice is something like "Known limitation: In this release, tables do not inherit styles from their parent elements" If this is not what is meant, perhaps someone from Netscape would care to elucidate? -- Chris Lilley, W3C [ http://www.w3.org/ ] Graphics and Fonts Guy The World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/people/chris/ INRIA, Projet W3C chris@w3.org 2004 Rt des Lucioles / BP 93 +33 (0)4 93 65 79 87 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France
