[css-d] font-size and forms (input and select)

[Maziak, Peter \(Tek Systems\)]

How can I get the three instances of the word Westwood (text, select,
input) to be the same font-size?
 
I would like to use relative sizing (ie, % or EM) as recommended, but
keep having cascading issues when I do.  I thought that using EM
(instead of %) wouldn't have the same cascading issue but it does.
Fixed sizing (PT, PX) obviously would not, but has many other
disadvantages...
 
Other info: I am working with lots of data, so need to keep it in a
table, and don't want to nest all plain text in an extra SPAN or DIV.  
 
Any advice?
Thanks,
-Pete
 
CSS is 
body {
 font-size:80%;
 font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.inputTable, .inputTable input, .inputTable select {
   font-size: 2em;
   color:red;
}
 
HTML is
  <table class="inputTable">
    <tr>
      <td>Westwood
        <select>
          <option>Westwood</option>
        </select>
        <input type="text" value="Westwood" size="8" />
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
