Thanks for the reply Justin.
I must have been mistaken about that forced inheritance thing. Would have been nice to have it, though.

I remember reading about a syntax that when applied to an element would force all the elements contained within that element to inherit the properties of the container element.
Is there really such a syntax? if so, how do I write it?
I tried googling for it, but all I got were pages describing what inheritance was.
You can set a property for all children of a selector with an asterix: #something * { ... }; but this could be overridden by another selector further down the stylesheet, like #something div { ... }.
I don't know of any way to *force* inheritance, or for something to "inherit all parent properties"... usually inheritance is done one rule at a time.
