Question

Is there any Inheritance problem with <table>, tr th td tbody thead tfoot also like form elements?

In IE 6+ and FF 3+ with Strict doctype.

Tables also have inheritance turned off in some browsers. You may
notice that in some browsers, your
tables’ text will be larger, clunkier
and not so pretty. This is also due to
inheritance. Many browsers give tables
their own style.

It’s mentioned here http://www.komodomedia.com/blog/2006/10/css-trickery-part-5-inheritance/

For which browsers author is talking about, it’s not mentioned

I tested on FF 3.6 and IE7 but unable to find is there any issue.

I just wanted to be sure before adding this in my CSS reset. Do i really need this?

table  {
       font-family:inherit;
       font-size:inherit;
       font-weight:inherit;
}

Answer 1

I found a reason here http://meyerweb.com/eric/articles/webrev/199903.html

And it’s problem only in

Internet Explorer 4.x for Windows, or
Navigator 4.x on any platform.
