The following code works in firefox. But IE displays the hyperlink at
font-size=13 rather than font-size=10. Why? If its a known IE bug, how
should I fix it? I always want the hyperlinks to take the size of the
next parent element's class.
thanks for the help,
Shashi

There's two things wrong with the cited snippet of CSS: the
specification in px units, and the use of Verdana alongside other
fonts.
You must be looking at a different page;
No, I'm looking at the "cited snippet of CSS", which you helpfully
re-quoted, but seem to have ignored.
there is no "px" anywhere on it.
Feel free to look at it again, then:
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
http://cfaj.freeshell.org/testing/ve...elvetica.shtml is a fine
comparison of two fonts at size 1em - or it would be for someone who
had Helvetica (mine is falling back to the browser's configured
default, which rather spoils the effect), but doesn't address the
(mis)use of px units at all.
I wasn't addressing the use of px units;
Confirmed. But I already said that.
I was pointing out that there is nothing wrong with using Verdana.
I drew the opposite conclusion from your demonstration, though.

is good to advise website authors not to do this, so maybe one day,
most of the websites get it right. Although I don't believe that will
ever happen.
Hey, that's normal; in the real world, most things suck, and good stuff
is very rare. It'll never be different. But if people who can tell the
difference don't insist on quality, the good stuff will become even rarer.
That's philosophy.

Sorry; I should have snipped that from my first post; it is not

I always go with the stylesheet of the author. I've never in my life
changed the style of a website I visit to my own or the browsers one.
I usually leave the author's style sheet in place too, unless I need to
switch to my browser's User Mode (which disables a lot more than the
author's style sheet).
My user style sheet has just a few !important rules that target specific
problems. Combined with browser settings like Minimum Font Size, it reduces
the need to switch to User Mode. It isn't a complete design of its own, and
I don't replace the author's style sheet with my user style sheet.
Unless the design is so bad that I switch to User Mode, that is.
Except maybe for people who can't read small fonts very well and want to
set the font to a larger one or change foreground and background color to
very very contrasting ones.
No one can read "small fonts" very well. It's just that the definition of
"small fonts" varies from person to person, and from display environment to
display environment. On my high-res displays, a minimum font size of 12px
is comfortable and reasonable to me. In some other display environment or
for someone with better/worse vision than mine, 12px might be huge or
illegibly small.
But even then, a lot of the websites on the internet use fixed font
sizes (like the example above) so it won't work anyway.
Says who? The rule
html, body { font-size: 100% !important ; }
goes a long way. Throw in Minimum Font Size and you can repair a lot of
microfont problems automatically.

The reality is that there is no such thing as "fixed font sizes" on
the WWW.
Even if you specify CSS px units, or pt units, you'll have a hard time
finding a display on which they are displayed in full and accurate
conformance with the applicable specifications.
Over and above the fact that different users have different needs,
your supposed "fixed" font sizes are going to end up different anyway.
Knowing that px and pt units not only don't work to specification but
aren't what the user needs, it isn't too hard to make a good choice,
IMHO.

The "cascade" refers to the author -browser-default -user-preference
succession of style sources, not to the business of style inheritance.
Yes, it's about precedence, not inheritance, but not specifically three
style sources. The cascade can include multiple stylesheets from one or more
sources. http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS1#the-cascade
