i created my theme using mostly CSS, where the body of the box is a TD with class=boxbody. in that i set a font size, but for certain modules (i.e. forum, members, poll) when it generates the conetent it ignores those settings and the font is some huge thing. anyone know what the deal is?

p.s. i'm using IE in WinXP Pro. on my friends Linux box with Gaeleon it looks fine...

For some reason, tables do not inherit the font properties of their parent element. You could try the CSS rule:

table, tr, td { font-size: inherit; }

But afaik it doesn't work on IE.

This could be a better solution:

td.boxbody td { font-size: your size here; }

in my site i have all the blocks in a right column in a TD, and in IE the width tag isnt inherited.. i tried using

td.rightcolumn td { width: 150px; }

but that didnt work.. is it different for width?
