Hi,

I have a pretty simple stylesheet, but I'm always looking to minimise
it. My question is, once you have declared a font property, how often
should you use it again?

i.e. I declare:
body { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; color: #865078; }

so, do I need to keep declaring every heading, footer etc as 'Verdana,
10px', or can I get rid of them.

Obviously it would be great to use as little code as possible, but will
all browsers view this ok?


See my entire stylesheet below for more example


<style>
A:Link { color: #4591C8; text-decoration: none; }
A:Visited { color: #4591C8; text-decoration: none; }
A:Active { color: #4591C8; text-decoration: none; }
A:Hover { color: #865078; text-decoration : none; }

body { background-color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana; font-size:
10px; color: #865078; background-image: url("images/nav_bg_woman.gif");
}
td { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; color: #865078; }

</style>
