36424 - Style inheritance problem in tables

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 31955

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[rsalesas]

The following code shows that the text in the cell takes the right font size, 
but not the right color. In fact, it ignores the color.

<style>
	.p {color:green;font-size:8px}
	.listChoiceBar .p {color:red;font-size:38px}
</style>

<TABLE BORDER=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 class="listChoiceBar">
	<TR class="p">								
		
	<td>View</TD>
	</tr>
</table>

I'm attaching a testcase based on the reporter's.  Three tables, each in a div
of class "gr".  Anything of class "rd" inside that div should be red, and 30px. 
Making the TABLE class="rd" has no effect at all, except that the style of the
DIV isn't inherited. Making the TR class="rd" applies the font size, but not the
color.  Only making the TD class="rd" has the expected effect.

This is a NavQuirks issue: In standard mode it works correctly, however since 
there is no DocType in the testcase NavQuirks kick in and the rule there is to 
block inheritance into tables. Marking as a dup of 31955 since that bug deals 
with the table inherticance quirk.
