Question

Q: How can I override the font size for custom table classes so that they don’t pick up the inherited value?

table {
    font-size: 1.09em;
    /* other stuff... */  
}

table.order
{
    font-size: 0.75 em;  /* font isn't getting set....it's picking up the 1.09em from the above table */
}

Answer 1

You’ve got a space between 0.75 and em. Remove it and the style should be set correctly (assuming the table actually has a class of order).
