the descendent "nav li” selector will of course affect all such elements unless you override them. The "footer li” selector at the linked page overrides the display and font-size of ”nav li". Relative font size is based on the font size of the surrounding element, but the two nav elements and the ul element both have an effective font size of 16px, so the result for the li elements here are 13px on both lists anyway. I’m not sure what you mean with "take their marching orders”? Why don’t you just use the developer tools of your browser and find out for yourself? I prefer Firefox, but Chrome is good too as is the Web Developer tool add-on for both. http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
