font-size of body style-rule does not work

=?Utf-8?B?dG9t?=

Hi All,

I have a theme with a Style.css in which I have defined a style rule for the
body element :

body
{
min-width: 780px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
text-align: center;
font-family: Verdana, Arial;
font-size: 8pt;
color: Black;
background-color: Ghostwhite;
}

I then have a content page based on a master page that implements the theme.

All rules of the body style are applied, except for the font-size.

Here's the html-output of the browser for a simpe page:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head><title>
Untitled Page
</title><link href="App_Theme s/Forest/Styles.css" type="text/css"
rel="stylesheet " /></head>
<body>
<form name="aspnetFor m" method="post" action="Default .aspx"
id="aspnetForm" >
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTA TE" id="__VIEWSTATE "
value="/wEPDwULLTEwMDUy NjYzMjhkZE+MtGg eO3PmpQonZYA4J/ffFMq1" />
</div>

<table width=920 height=100% align=center cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr height=1>
<td</td>
</tr>
<tr height=150>
<td class="app_head er"</td>
</tr>
<tr height=100%>
<td width=100% valign=top style="border-left:gray 1px
solid;border-right: gray 1px solid">
<table>
<tr>
<tdcol 1 </td>
<tdcol 2 </td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table width="100%" class="footerTa ble">
<tr>
<td align="center">
simple footer content
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr height=1>
<td</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Where you see col1 and col 2, the text does not appear in the correct
font-size??

Anyone any ideas?

thx,
Tom

Well it doesn't make sense to me either.
Just define the font-size for the table element
as well in your stylesheet.

Keep in mind that the object parent object of the item will override those
of other items further up the chain. Usually, the body will effect elements
that are within the body of the document, but not within items like a table.
You'll want to a style to govern the items that occur within a table cell to
cover all bases.

I know I can define a style for the table element.
But I would prefer to have the body as the general style, and where
necessary override by specific classes on for instance tables.

It's strange that for instance font-family and color are picked up but not
the font-size.

Thanks anyway.
