Digital Transition » Font-size in IE5/5.5 tables

If you’ve ever used tables in IE 5/5.5 you’ll know that the font-size is not inherited from the parent tags. So when you specified a specific font-size in your body tag, the default size will still be used inside the table.

Personally, to solve this, I specified the font-size again, for the table tag. Now, when you change your font-size in the body tag, guess what you forget? Yes indeed, the font-size in the table tag.

Anyhow, Andy Budd has a super simple solution. Just define a font-size of 1em to the table tag, like this:

table {
font-size: 1em;
}
