Hello to everyone,
i'm new to css and i have a question.
i have an external css (style.css) , that i link in all html pages.
inside the css file there is a class detais declared as follows:
*================================================= ========== */
..details {
font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial, helvetica;
font-size:11pt;
color:#051E78;
}
*================================================= ========== */
Moreover , inside the css file there is an html tag body declared as follows:
/*================================================= ========== */
body { font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial, helvetica;
font-size:11pt;
color:#051E78;
background-color:#87ceeb;
margin-top:0px;
margin-bottom:0px;
margin-right:0px;
margin-left:0px;
}
*================================================= ========== */
When i apply the details class inside a tag(i.e <td class=details>) everything is ok.
My font size is fixed to 11pt.
However when i don't apply the details class inside a tag (i.e <td>, <tr> or whatsoever) my fonts have variable length.Why does this happen?
I thought that the font size should be (11pt-fixed size) as they lie inside the <body> tag of my html page.
thanks in advance

What browser are you using? At first sight, you're right - however, by
not supplying a URL we can't check your other code.
Also, note that fixed font sizes, especially in pt units for screen use,
is a bad idea. Search this group to find out why - do you really want
your fonts to be 0.15in high independent of screen size or resolution?

Hello, Thanasis. Please, don't "top-post" (in addition to not
posting HTML). Read my comment below.
/Thanasis (sch)/: details {
font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial, helvetica;
font-size:11pt;
color:#051E78;
}
body { font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial, helvetica;
font-size:11pt;
color:#051E78;
background-color:#87ceeb;
margin-top:0px;
margin-bottom:0px;
margin-right:0px;
margin-left:0px;
}

It would help if you had told us what browser software you use and
if you had posted an URL for the page you're trying with.
I think you're encountering the quirky behavior of IE where only the
'font-family' is inherited by TABLE elements. When you use the
standards-compliance mode this behavior is corrected.
Read the comments under the "TABLE Elements Inherit Text Properties"
heading in "CSS Enhancements in Internet Explorer 6"
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnie60/html/cssenhancements.asp>.
Be sure to read about the DOCTYPE switch in that same document and

Don't post to Usenet in HTML (or "rich text"). Use plain text.
Font size indicates its *height*, and isn't related to whether a font is fixed-width or variable-width. Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, and Helvetica are all variable-width fonts, so you specify any of them, variable width is what you're going to get. If you want a monospaced font, use font-family: monospace;.

Ouch! Blame Outlook Express, which I use for this at work. I *did*
select Plain Text format from the menu, but since the original was in
HTML, I guess it ignored me.

I belive there is somewhere in the setting for OE, something to

Yes, in quirks mode Mozilla/Netscape 7 is specifically designed to
mimic the broken behavior of Internet Explorer and the old Netscape
4. You may override this "patch" setting:
table { font-size: 100% }
in your stylesheet.
Once, again - please, don't top-post. Thank you.
