Tables and Fonts

[liunx]

Hi,

I am using a CSS style sheet and have applied different fonts and colours, etc. However in tables the font-size is larger for some reason, the font should be 10pt, works everywhere, but in tables is 12pt, I cannot see why. Here is my CSS script.

BODY
{
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 10pt;
word-spacing: normal;
text-transform: none;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
letter-spacing: normal;
background-color: white;
}

H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, TH, THEAD, TFOOT

text-transform:none;
}

text-transform:none;
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Lea HayesSome browsers don't inherit the body font into tables so you may need to set the defaults with a body,table,th,td selector.In IE 6, the problem resolves itself if you use a valid DOCTYPE. For IE 5 and 5.5, use Ray's suggestion.Hi,

Thanks, this has solved my problem!
