What specific section or headline is this issue about?
Selects and datalists
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
In this section the article explains two problems relating to styling the
<select>
and<datalists>
elements. In the second problem, the article says:The last line says the
<option>
element doesn't inherit the font set from the parent. Maybe this happens on older browsers but when I checked both on Firefox and Chrome<option>
is inheriting the font from its parent so this line is not correct anymore in the paragraph. On the next line, it says:I checked on Chrome it also applies the color and background color properties so this statement that Chrome won't apply these properties does not make any sense because Chrome also applies these properties as well.
What did you expect to see?
Maybe change this paragraph so that it does not create confusion between the old and modern browser's capabilities.
