Numerous points to make here: First, the default font size (the one that a browser will revert to if none is specified) is size 2 which is roughly equivalent to 12 point I believe. Second, as m.tatarynowicz suggested, the font size is not correctly specified in the style spec since it does not include a unit of size (pixels, em, points, etc.). So that particular part of the style sheet should and would be ignored or taken at its default of size pixels which it does here in TB but renders as size 2 in IE. These are not bugs but different interpretation of faulty code. Third, the the doctype tag at the beginning of the document declares this document to be of HTML 3.2 specification which does not account for CSS 1 or CSS 2. Therefore, Amaya would not parse the style portions of the style. Even if it did, it would be looking for the style type="text/css" line which is missing from the style declaration. But that is missing. However, it matters little what Amaya does because I doubt very many people have Amaya as their default browser. Luckily IE accounts for faulty WYSIWYG editors and displays what it can decipher anyway. Fourth, although the style declares Albany as the body font and there is no body text in the document, it would only show to those with Albany installed. I don't have Albany and thus it is correctly rendered as the default font at the default size -- Times New Roman at size 2 in IE. And body text is not the same as table text. Table text must be declared on its own when using <font> tags. Style is inherited, however. So one mixing the two can confuse themselves easily. So, in a sense, you and Sfen are both mistaken. Though the Bat renders the document differently than IE, I wouldn't call it a bug in TB; I'd call it numerous bugs in the document itself. -- Best regards, James [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stamp-co.com An educator should consider that he has failed in his job if he has not succeeded in instilling some trace of a divine dissatisfaction with our miserable social environment. -- Anthony Standen The Bat! v.1.54 Beta/39 Windows 2000 build 2195 Service Pack 2 -- -- _________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbbeta.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wish List : http://wish.thebat.dutaint.com BugTraq : https://bt.ritlabs.com/
