Css body font size, color and family.

[canadacatman]

If my body css is:

body {
background: #ffffff;
color: #3a3a3a;
font-family: Open Sans,sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: 400;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
overflow: auto;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}

Will all my text be that color, size and family through out my entire website unless i change it like here:

.content a {
color: #3394de;
text-decoration: none;
}

Thanks

Basically, yes.

May I ask what basically means. Is that not the best option.

Thanks

If there is no reset or normalize CSS, then except for sizes on headings like <h1>Heading</h1> e.o. and maybe also form element sizes, and colors on links (that are not within this .content wrapper) – which will be styled by browsers’ default CSS stylesheets. So yes values for font-family and color (except on links) will be inherited, but things like font-weight on labels and b or strong tags and again also headers will most likely be styled by the browser with font-weight: bold.
