CSS: force text style inheritance from...

Hi all



By any chance, is there a way to force text within table
cells to inherit the font style from the

div that contains the table?



I tried

div td{font-family:inherit;}



and it does not work.



Is this possible at all?

oh sorry... something else caused my text to loose its style
and I thought for a minute that text

within cells did not inherit from div containers.

my bad

The DOM Inspector in Firefox can be really helpful to find
such errors

and the rule that was responsible for the unexpected result.

In some browsers there were issues with inheritance into a
table when

the page was rendered in quirks mode.
