Sorry, but it's all wrong. Read a good tutorial on CSS _now_.
(All settings are wrong: using Verdana, setting font-size in pixels, and
setting color without setting background - and pure red is seldom a feasible
color for text.)

Stop wanting that.

The "*" selector (not an attribute) selects all elements. So you are setting
font-size to 15px for all elements, including td elements (table cells). The
rule with #ta overrides this _only_ for the specific element (the table
element) that has id="ta". Setting font-size for a table does not directly
affect anything. It might affect elements inside the table via inheritance,
but here no inheritance of font-size takes place, since you have set
font-size for all elements.
