Hey, I did observe the -webkit-padding stuff and changed it to 0px. I can notice the change in Chrome but not in mozilla. -webkit doesnt support mozilla.

this definitely is a bug of chrome, it didn’t implement CSS engine well enough that the children behavior should override their parents’/ancestors’

Thanks for this explanation of UA stylesheets. Chrome/safari for some reason override font size on tables with their UA CSS and for some reason it’s preventing the body font-size from inheriting causing all sorts of headaches. *sigh*

Thanks a lot for this post. I was irritated by an added 40px padding that this default sheet added, and finally your post helped me get rid of it!

I just ran into the same issue… your solution is simple and now it looks like it should : ) In general it might be a great idea to have some defaults… but it is not an expected behavior. Still, chrome is the most reliable browser I know of…
