If your code is working and you're happy, fine.

However you don't *have* to do it that way and FWIW I think that your solution makes a couple of assumptions that might prove to be inappropriate later <s>.

In trying to show you an alternative (possibly as many as 6 steps in a method, but not recursive) I was trying to show you what I believe is a more appropriate solution.

I was also trying to show you why a "one shot method" built into the model didn't really make sense <s>.

Would you want to apply *all* style attributes that were inherited *equally* over *all* content for the cell? For example, if the cell content includes an A tag (this didn't come out properly in my last message, and in case it doesn't again I mean an anchor/hyperlink tag) do you want to apply colors universally? If the cell contains a nested table, what do you want to happen then?
