table font differs from body, why?

#1

Hello,
below the html file and the external style file. Html is fine, both body and
table show courier as font.
When I change body class to lettercour15, text outside the table changes but
inside the table it is another font!??!
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Frank

Bug in Internet Explorer: tables don't inherit styles from the body.

Workaround: explicitly style the table to match the body.

As Toby answered, font are not inherited in tables in IE.

Because you do not quote your attribute value here, the browser will
interpret the width as 20 pixels, not as 20% of the table. In any case,
you have not provided any width for the table, so I believe this
attribute will be ignored.

Here too: you must quote the font family name if it includes a blank space:

.lettercour {font-family:"Courier New"; font-size: 1em;}

" Font family names containing whitespace should be quoted. If quoting
is omitted, any whitespace characters before and after the font name are
ignored and any sequence of whitespace characters inside the font name
is converted to a single space."
