[WSG] color: inherit;?

[Lee Underwood]

I know that if you declare the background-color, you also declare the color 
(and vice-versa). Is it o.k. to use color: inherit; for the color when 
you are declaring the background-color? If not, then what is a good way to 
do it?

Thanks!

[WSG] How not to inherit

[Lee Underwood]

I have the following code in a file:
begin code
a:hover {
  background-color: #dedede;
  color: #385468;
text-decoration: none;
}
#navbar-main a:hover, #navbar a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}
/end code
The problem is, I don't want the navbar rule to inherit the color and 
background-color declarations from the previous rule. Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
Lee

Erik,
Thanks. It's so simple I couldn't figure it out. I just changed the colors 
to what I did want and it worked (Duh!)

Thanks again.

What do you want those attributes inherited from then?
I'd say you need to declare them in the second declaration to set them for
navbar-main.
I'm missing the point I'm sure.

Ted,
I checked it in IE6 and it looked fine. I sent you a screen capture offlist.

Hi everyone
I have gotten two messages that our site can look odd in IE6 Win and I 
can't duplicate the results.  One person said there were weird lines and 
empty spaces, another complained of huge text.

Could you take a look at our site, www.csatravelprotection.com  in IE Win 
and let me know if you see anything strange?  Screenshots off list would 
be great.

Thanks
