Font size for tables

Here we have two <div> objects with font: 80% sans-serif, which has a table inside with font-size: 80%.

In compatibility mode in all browsers font sizes of the parent object and the table are the same.

In standards mode (in browsers enabling it) font size in the table is less than the parent object’s font size by 20%.
