why h1 doesn't inherit font -size from body?
In adition to my previosu post I have one more query.
Why h1 doesn't inherit font-size from <body> If we specify font-size as 100% for <body> h1 is till displayed with default browser font size for h1. But I think it should be displayed with same font size as <body>.

Re: why h1 doesn't inherit font -size from body?
I belive its the way the browser handles the styles
You may be setting body to a cirtain text size like so body { font-size: 100%; } but default setting for h1 might be font-size: 18pt Which would pretty much override your setting. You would want to set font size for h1 as h1 { font-size: 100%; }

Re: why h1 doesn't inherit font -size from body?
I believe most browsers have a default setting on ems, 1em=16px(approx) so if the body {font-size:100%;} then when defineing the H1 {font-size: x ;} *Where x is equal to sizing*
you could set it to h1 {font-size:1em;} which would make it the same as the body size. I think, if im wrong somebody tell me. Cheers Gecko Last edited by surfthegecko; Dec 15th, 2005 at 14:56.
