Overriding a style attribute to ""

[Csaba2000]

My first post in this group. Already by reading the
prior posts I have learned a few things.

My problem is I'd like to override a css setting that
has been set by another agency and set it back to nothing:
So I've got a page I made and when I click the submit
button, it goes to my server and generates a new page.
This page has appended to it certain php debugging
information generated with the php call: phpinfo()

One of the things phpinfo includes is:
<STYLE type="text/css">
....
td, th { border: 1px solid #000000; font-size: 75%; vertical-align: baseline;}
....
</STYLE>
Now that declaration is messing up a table that I put in above the
phpinfo tables (but only in NN 6.1). Opera 7.01 and IE 5.5 are OK with it.
I tried putting in manual style="vertical-align:top" to what I think are
the appropriate elements, but this has been ignored.

So I achieved satisfaction by putting into my page:
<STYLE type="text/css">
<!--
table#mytab td, th { border: 2px solid #000000; font-size: 75%; vertical-align:top;}
-->
</STYLE>
and making the id of my table id=myTab
But what I'd really like to to is to set that vertical-align to ""
That is, I'd like to nullify the previous declaration (or more precisely,
the subsequent one coming from phpinfo()). Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Csaba Gabor from New York

You still need to give your declaration more weight by using a more
specific selector, as you have one. You could try

table#mytab td, th { border-width: 2px; font-size: 75%; vertical-align:
inherit;}

... but I'm not sure which browsers support this. Haven't tried it myself.
