Tags inside <head>

I saw the source a webpage, and they had a <basefont> tag inside the <head> tags. I've never seen this anywhere else. :/

I was wondering if anyone had any more information on this? Any could post a link to where I could find out any more information?

---[ Searching google...

Ok, while finding the BaseFont tag, I tried it, along with a few tables inside of it. It fully changed the face for any text, but inside the tables, the font size stayed the same. Al though, the size outside of the table changed. Any ideas? :/ (I'm using IE 6.0)

basefont is a little trick i found along time ago before i dared enter css

you can use basefont just like any font tag, and it will work with the whole body, maybe it doesn't work for block level elements?

it's far from being valid, so don't use it.

The BASEFONT tag has been deprecated since HTML 4 so don't use it like hobgoblin said. Use CSS instead.
