text-transform inheritance

Hi all

Stumbled on a weird thing. The text input object inherits the parent's
CSS text-transform rule in OPERA (8.51). In IE (6.0) and FF (1.0.7), it
doesn't. Why is that?

Minimal test case:
http://lingo.uib.no/daniel/opera/tex...inherited.html

Is this a known thing? Didn't find anything on this deviant behaviour
anywhere (ok, didn't look EVERYwhere).

'text-transform'
Value: capitalize | uppercase | lowercase | none | inherit
Initial: none
Applies to: all elements
Inherited: yes

............... .........^^^^^

Was that a hidden way of telling me that Opera [in this case] supports
CSS 2.1, unlike the other browsers? 'text-transform' should be basic CSS
1, shouldn't it? And so should the notion of inheritance?

Sorry, I didn't learn anything from your posting (although I want to).
Thanks anyway for a quick reply.

Deciding to do something for the good of humanity, Daniel Jung
<ju**@uib.no> spouted in comp.infosystem s.www.authoring.stylesheets:
The text input object inherits the parent's
CSS text-transform rule in OPERA (8.51). In IE (6.0) and FF (1.0.7), it
doesn't.
The specs say text-transform is inherited, so Opera is correct.
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/text.html...text-transform

FWIW, it's the same in FF1.5 as 1.0.7.
Why is that?
Because browsers aren't perfect. ;-)
Is this a known thing?


I couldn't see anything at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org - feel free to
submit a bug report. If you can work out how to submit a bug report to
MS, you're welcome to try. :-)

It appears that it should be inherited from what I read. I think you
are correct about Opera.

And Safari 2.0.2 doesn't apply the transform to either text input!
