input,textarea,select{font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;font-weight:inherit;}
input,textarea,select{*font-size:100%;}
This is from the YUI reset css. What does the * before font-size:100% do?

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet. CSS can format the document content(written in HTML or other markup language): layout. colors.
At-rules are CSS statements that instruct CSS how to behave. They begin with an at sign, ' @ ' ( U+0040 COMMERCIAL AT ), followed by an identifier and includes everything up to the next semicolon, ' ; ' ( U+003B SEMICOLON ), or the next CSS block, whichever comes first.
This is an IE hack. The second line is only correctly parsed and executed by IE 7 and below. See http://www.webdevout.net/css-hacks#unrecommended-asterisk_prefix for more information.
Edit: One remark on using such (invalid!) CSS: please don't. There are plenty of ways of keeping your CSS clean of such mess. You'll never know what behavior IE9 might bring. Better to put these kind of hacks in a separate CSS file which can then be included through conditional comments.

To be more precise: IE6/7 doesn't support font-size: inherit. This hack is supposed to achieve the goal anyway.
