Hi

I'm trying to figure out what takes precedence over what in a stylesheet.
Thus, given:

body {

     color : #FFFFFF;
}

h1 {

     color : #FF0000;
}

will my <h1> turn out red or white?  Apologies for the basic question, but
I can't find anything that tells me the answer and my browser experiments
have been inconclusive -- I'd like to know what's _meant_ to happen, even
if it doesn't actually happen yet in some implementations! ;-)

Thanks
