One bug present in IE4 is that style inheritance (whereby container objects pass their styles on to their children) breaks down when entering a table element.
This is a table within a DIV container. The
DIV has had the following styles applied to it:
DIV#d1 { font: 900 italic 0.8em "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", "Helv", sans-serif;
color: green; background: white none;
The table has had no styles explicitly given, yet its
contents should have exactly the same style as the text in the
DIV. (Note - to ensure that this bug is visible, the rest
of the document has been explicitly given a different value
for each of the above properties.)
This is a paragraph inside the DIV, before the table.
| This is a cell in the table. It should be the same style as the paragraphs above and below the table. | This is another cell in the table. It should be the same style as the paragraphs above and below the table. |
This is a paragraph inside the DIV, after the table.
