Bold text in IE

[madskl]

Hi guys!

I'm designing a website, but having some trouble with IE. In IE6 through 8 all the text on the webpage is bold. However in firefox, chrome etc. the text is normal and only bold where specified.

I've tested this on browserlabs to make sure it wasn't my computer screwing up but it seems not to be.

I've tried a lot of things like removing the menu, removing the "feature" part etc. with no luck.

So I'm hoping someone out there can help me.

Have you gone through your coding to look for tags that are open but not closed?

Line 63, Column 14: end tag for "h1" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

        </div>

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

<h1>Login <span>or</span> <a href="http://www.swtorcommunity.com/forum/register.php?s="
	target="_parent">Signup now</a>

Clear up your code and you won't have problems. (Y)

You have alot of IE only stylesheets, maybe something in there is making everything bold.

I'm trying to find an unclosed tag, but can't. You validated this by an online tool? I can't see it by eye. Anyway, back to TV....

Your <h1> tag mate.

<h1>Login <span>or</span> <a href="http://www.swtorcommunity.com/forum/register.php?s="

target="_parent">Signup now</a>

Look at line 61.

Add: Clean your code too, 80 errors.

Edit: Cupcakes to the rescue.

Think i've gone blind on the code. Have been looking at it for 6 hours now so I think its time to take a break so i don't make any more of those mistakes :)

Happens to the best of us! :)

I once spent 15 minutes trying to figure out why a @font-face value wasn't working at on my site. Went through HTML and a few of my stylesheets to try to figure it out.. then finally noticed that the problem was.. I didn't close a CSS comment on my typography.css file.. :)

Dreamweaver CS5 works a treat for picking up these mistakes on the fly. It's saved me a lot of headaches I would have otherwise had.
