Difference between font-size 100% and inherit

Hej

My question is: Is setting the style font-size:inherit to an HTML tag equivalent to setting its style to font-size:100%?

As far as I understand, font-size:inherit means that the font size in the HTML tag will inherit the font-size from its parent tag, meaning it will have a font-size 100% that of its parent.

Please correct me if I am wrong. I have done several tests to prove that. However, there must be a difference, so could someone point that out to me, please?

Thanks a lot Jihad Haddad

By the specifications, there is no difference in the effects of font-size: 100% and font-size: inherit. The latter is newer and less widely supported, so there is a practical difference: the latter is ignored by some browsers.
