Which CSS properties are inherited?

by

Here is the list of all inheritable properies.
I’m working with W3C’s information, so I’d guess it should be correct. But knowing web browsers (IE specifically), some of these might not be inheritable by all browsers:

  1. azimuth
  2. border-collapse
  3. border-spacing
  4. caption-side
  5. color
  6. cursor
  7. direction

  10. font-family
  11. font-size
  12. font-style
  13. font-variant
  14. font-weight
  15. font
  16. letter-spacing
  17. line-height
  18. list-style-image
  19. list-style-position
