why does inheritance not work with class selectors?

Hi,

Trying to figure this out for some time now, but I don't get it ... I
have something like this:


..myclass {
color: red;
}

<p class="myclass"> this is <b> some </b> text </p>

By my understanding of inheritance in CSS 'some' should be in red, but
it isn't (in IE6 at least). What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help, Gertjan

What is the URL?

It should be - assuming that the value of the color property for that <b>
element is "inherit".
