Lack of correct CSS support; what to do?

[Guest_imported]

Ok, so I know there are some CSS features it doesn't support at all. That's annoying, but fair enough. However what is really slowing my work is when it has apparently incorrect implementations that make it difficult to see what I'm doing. My example here, is that Dreamweaver is failing to inherit the text colour from the body tag into a table. All the indications are that it -should- inherit this, but it doesn't, so my text inside a table is black when it should be light blue, rendering it almost impossible to work with. If I make alterations to the style-sheets to make it work with Dreamweaver (such as setting all the info for each tag), I lose a lot of the benefits of style-sheets (such as being able to change a colour in one place and having it apply to all contained elements). What am I supposed to do in this situation? You'd think they'd have it working by now.

I think that most browsers have problems with inheriting into tables. You will probably have to make a rule for tables with the identical information.

Its not a dreamweaver issue. Its a style shet issue.

Try downloading ie6 and ns 6.1 to see whether they work in those versions yet.

Problem is of course, few people are using these browsers as yet. Most of the time, I don't use style sheets as NS4.7 doesn't apply them to tables well at all, or too text boxes and all sorts of things.
