If I create a <div> and specify that I want the font-size to be 1.2em for
instance, why do the <asp:> controls not follow this rule if they are
contained within the <div> statement?

How/what do I need to do to get them to follow this rule? Am I forced to
place a CssClass on each control?

Thanks in advance for your assistance
 
How are you specifying the font size? Are you using CSS?

If so, you can create a CSS rule that indicates that all child elements or
all descendant elements or all child elements of a specific type, or all
descendant elements of a specific type should inherit the style. The syntax
is:

Descendant:
Descendants are references separated by a space:

div p (all paragraph descendants of a div)
#id * (all descendants of an element with the id of "id")
div * p (all paragraph descendants of any element that is
a descendant of a div - not immediate children)
..class div p (all paragraph elements that are inside a div that is inside an
element of class "class")

Child (immediate descendant):
Children are references separated by a '>' character:

div > p (any paragraph that is an immediate child of a div)
#foo > div > p (any paragraph that is an immediate child of a div which
is an immediate child of an element with the ID "foo"

See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html for more details.
