Hi,
I don't have this on a public server anywhere, so I'm just going to
paste a very much simplified version code here:
Stylesheet:
body {
background-color: #FFFFEF;
margin: 0%;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
}
body, div, p, blockquote, ol, ul, dl, li, dt, dd, th, td {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #000000;
font-size: xx-small;
}
#extra {
position: relative;
width: 200px;
padding: 0px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
border: 1px dashed #6B1894;
}
#extra th {
padding: 5px;
text-align: center;
background: #6B1895;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 90%;
}
#extra td {
padding: 5px;
font-size: 90%;
}
HTML Page:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dt d">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Untitl ed Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
<link href="styles2.c ss" rel="stylesheet " type="text/css">
</head>
<title>Untitl ed Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

<body>
<p>This is a bunch of meaningless text.</p>
<div id="extra">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" >
<tr>
<th>Title Text</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>This is some more text.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I made the text size very small, so you can tell the difference
easily. If I delete the font-size: 90% in the extra tags, the
font-size for those tags is the same as the body - xx-small, so it
looks like it's inheriting that value. Shouldn't 90% of xx-small be
super small? The text in the extra div is bigger than the text in the
body if I leave the font-size: 90% in there. I can't figure out what
the heck is going on here. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Lots and lots of coding errors here. It seems you're trying to write HTML4,
but you're declaring XHTML 1.0. The code is wrong for both versions of HTML
anyway.
Decide which version of HTML you want to use, and then try to get the code
right using a validator, e.g.:
<URL:http://validator.w3.or g/>
The text in the extra div is bigger than the text in the

Get the HTML code right first. Then you can start working on CSS and start
worrying about text sizes.

What else is wrong? This is not available on a publicly accessible
server, so I can't run anything through a validator. Is there some
validator I can download to test through localhost? I'm trying to
make this site 508 accessible and yet degrade acceptably in older
browsers. I've tested this code in Opera, NN4, NN7, and IE 5.5, and
everything works fine except for the font size issue.

The following code validates in the Dreamweaver XML validator.

So, I'm still asking if anyone has any ideas why the font sizes aren't working?
Thanks!

If you have Opera it's even easier:
1) open the local file in Opera
2) press Ctrl + Alt + V
3) answer OK

For example:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
That is not correct XHTML 1.0 Transitional (as you declared the code to be).
In XHTML you have to write this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
There are other mistakes too.
Or you can change the doctype to some HTML 4 variety (and take out the
duplicate code).

Yes you can. You can upload pages to the W3C Validator.

Dreamweaver is not an HTML validator. And the code is not valid. There is no
"title" element in "head".

Get the HTML right first, then we'll worry about font sizes.

Or install a validator locally. The code to the W3C validator is available,
the same applies to the WDG validator, and I'm pretty sure one of the
Windows all-in-one packages includes a validator (along with tidy, etc).

Hi,
Are there any ways to get multiple inheritace in PHP4? For example, I have
3 parent class, class A, B, and C. I want class X to inherit all those 3
classes. Consider merging those 3 classes is out of the question, as there
are class Y which only inherits from class A, etc.

I'm starting to think that whenever you derive one class from another, that
you should use virtual inheritance *all* the time, unless you have an
explicit reason not to. I'm even thinking that there shouldn't have been a
"virtual" keyword for this purpose, but instead, a "nonvirtual" keyword!
In teaching inheritance, you see the common example:

First, it is said that if virtual inheritance is used, then "the
responsibility for initializing a virtual base is borne by the most
derived class in the hierarchy". What does it mean? Initializing
base class is usually done automatically by the compiler, but a
derived class can invoke the base...
