HTML - Div not inheriting body style

09-08-2008, 11:30 PM

Hello all,

On my page here:

http://www.dockhawk.com/

Some text in elements of the div id="directions" isn't inheriting the
correct text sizes from the body. Firebug says it has yet a lot of the
elements come out as default.

To get the "directions" text on screen please:

1>Upon loading type "california" in the text box and click "submit".

2>Either click on one of the markers on the map or pick a result that
appears on the right

3>In the info window that appears on the map please click either the
"To here" or "From here" links

4>In the next info window please type Oakland, CA in the text box and
then click "Get Directions".

The large undesirable text will appear in the "directions" div, middle
of the screen between the map and results.

I appreciate any pointers.

Again page- http://www.dockhawk.com/

and external CSS- http://www.dockhawk.com/default.css

Did it work? Before, the page was being treated in Quirks mode, one
aspect of which is that font properties are reset to defaults inside
tables, independent of what's outside them. If you're using the latest
version of Firebug, you may have noticed Firefox's application of its
internal stylesheet quirks.css, with font property values for the table
element set to -moz-default.
