transparent and inherit of background

[Edwin van der Vaart]

Good day to all,

Why does inherit react the same as transparent when using for background?
What is inherit means as property for background?

It doesn't.

It doesn't.

Perhaps I should illustrate with an example:

I don't see any difference. Oh wait, I'm using IE...

It doesn't. It looks like it if you are only using background colours
(unless the child element spills out of the parent), but the difference
is evident if you use a background image, as you can see in Toby's
example.

What is inherit means as property for background?

It means the same thing as specifying exactly the same rules for the
background for both elements.

Damn! Neredbojias is correct! Don't use MSIE except for browser checking
and never noticed this before...

I don't know. I tried on mine Linux and Windows machine at 10:00 MEST

I see what you mean.
So, I'll use transparent for background.
Thanx for the example.
