Why doesn't the select tag inherit from its parent in this code? What am I missing?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<style>
form
{
color:#0000cc;
font-size: 10px;
}
</style>
<title>Select boxes not affected by its css parent propertieses</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="#" method="POST">
<div id="refine_race_search">
<div><label for="test">my_label</label>
<select>
<option value="1">value 1</option>
<option value="1">value 2</option>
<option value="1">value 3</option>
<option value="1">value 4</option>
</select>
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Send"/>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
