Can someone please assist with this? Does anyone know why text formatting goes awry when I put it into a table?? I'm using DNN 4.8.4.

Text within a table produces very large text which is much larger than the default style. If this text is outside of a table it assumes the default style.

I would like to have added a code snippet to this posting but it doesn't display the code because it builds the table instead. 

Many thanks in advance.

This is the simplest and most effective method:

body,.Normal{font:normal 13px Arial,Helvetica;color:#000000;}
table{font:inherit;}

Set the body and .Normal font and make the table inherit it until told otherwise

ok, it's yet another round of browser incompatibilities.. but in any case, this page has the details: http://www.monc.se/kitchen/140/disabling-deprecated-html-using-css

I'm running with this now:

table{
color:inherit;
color:expression(this.parentNode.currentStyle['color']);
font:inherit;
font-family:expression(this.parentNode.currentStyle['fontFamily']);
font-size:100%;
}
 

We'll see how it goes.

The other (and simpler) solution for a specific skin is to specify a default font for tables to match your body or .Normal font. That's what I had been doing until I started using Inherit. I'm using a sheet across many skins and have to make it work on all of them.
