Interesting. Please review http://www.webbytedd.com/
If your browser is Safari, then you'll see a red box with "This is
text" with a blue line directly beneath the text. An example of no
inheritance.
If your browser is IE, then you'll see a red box with "This is text"
and a blue line at the bottom of the red box -- looks like a fuzzy
purple line. An example faulty inheritance.
If your browser is Netscape, then you'll see a three sided red box
with "This is text" and a bottom blue line. An example of what I
believe is a proper inheritance -- am I correct?

PS: Safari 1.1 (v100)
IE 5.2.3 for the Mac
Netscape 7.1
