Why Textarea and textfield not taking font-family and font-size from body?
See live example here http://jsbin.com/ucano4
Code
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>texearea font</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size:16px
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="get">
<textarea name="" cols="20" rows="4"></textarea>
<input name="" type="text" />
</form>
<p>some text here</p>
</body>
</html>
If it's a usual behavior then should i write in css like this. i need same style in all
body,textarea,input {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size:16px
}
And how many other elements in XHTML which will not take font styling from body {....}?
