css font-size and nested tables

by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de

Hi, trying to find the reason for the tiny fonts in gmail, I found the following: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> td {font-family: arial; font-size:50%} </style> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td> foo bar </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <table> <tr> <td>foo bar</td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> is rendered with the same font size in both lines in firefox, konqueror, and opera. Can someone enlighten me why the nested <td> does not decrease the font size again in the second line? If I change the CSS to act on <table> instead of <td> it works as expected. Cheers, Johannes

It would certainly be possible to implement it in dillo by overriding the default fltk tab drawing code. Cheers, Johannes

Hmm, I thought you were saying that this was new behaviour, but I see the old code worked that way as well. You give the shortcut to fltk and it draws it however it wants to draw it. Oh, maybe your UI font used to be a serif font... It is currently hardcoded to use font_sans_serif (the reason being that whatever default UI font fltk picked out for us was reasonably likely to have worse unicode coverage than the fonts we set in dillorc), but there has been talk of adding prefs for UI font and fontsize -- which I'd be willing to do.

Oh. This is just horrible HTML / CSS, it's full of bugs! The reason for black on black is: <body bgcolor="#000000" text="#C0C0C0" link="#33CC00" vlink="#33CC00" /> I.e. body is immediately closed.
