I must work within a CMS which controls the styles attached to the body
tag -- I cannot alter this:

body {font-size: 13px}

but I *can* change the style of a tag within the body, i.e., ---

#wrap { }

But I cannot figure out how to instruct the wrap division to ignore the
instruction for the default font-size to be 13px. How can the font-size
of the #wrap container be made to be whatever the browser's default may
be?

I have tried
#wrap {font-size: normal}, or
#wrap {font-size: normal!important}, or
#wrap {font-size: 100%!important}, or
#wrap {font-size: 100%}

all without good result.

Please, does anyone know how to cut this Gordian knot?

Thanks!
