CSS quirkiness

[mhenderson]

I'm in the process of creating a new look/feel for my company using Jasper's framework.

 

My immediate question is - is there any CSS that gets fired off in a somewhat 'hidden' manner?

 

I could be very very far off base.

 

Here's my problem:

I boiled down the CSS to one file called jasper.css and I got rid of all of the CSS except for the following rules:

 

Code:

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  }
	
body {
  min-width: 780px;
  color: #000;
  font-size: 68.75%;
  }
	
body,
input, select, textarea {
  font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
  }

 

But other style rules still show up, most notably with tables. As soon as I nest some text in a table, the font size stops being 68.75% and jumps back to 100%, unaffected by the CSS, and this is a behavior that i havent seen before.

 

Please help!
