Bold text in IE


Question

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.

Here is the link http://www.swtorcommunity.com

Thank you!

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

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.swtorcommunity.com%2F

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 ">".

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

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.. :)

    • Seriously 1.8gig....so what. Any computer, if you are going to do serious work on, in 2026 should have a mimimum of 16gig and I would say 32-64gig is the way to go.
    • So again, you'd consider "I'm happy with my LG TV" to be a valid response to an article about PlayStation? I get the "I don't like any of their products" but how does that in any way invoke Linux? It just feels very random.
    • State of Decay 2, Blasphemous 2, and more join Xbox Free Play Days by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The latest Free Play Days offer has just kicked off, giving Xbox players the chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. The offerings this time aren't as massive as last weekend, but there are still major releases for Xbox players to jump into. This includes Undead Labs' post-apocalyptic title State of Decay 2, as well as two Team17-published titles. Two of the games being offered this time are available to all Xbox players without needing any kind of Game Pass subscription. In the fully free-to-play section, you can jump into State of Decay 2. The title is both an action survival title and a community builder, letting players choose a map, set up their base, and try to keep the growing zombie threat at bay. Cooperative play is available too. Don't forget that the studio is preparing a third entry for 2027. Next, Blasphemous 2 drops in for Metroidvania and Soulslike fans, where The Penitent One returns for another adventure. The title has tough combat with multiple weapon options, deadly traps to avoid, and platforming sequences requiring a lot of patience and timing. Keep in mind though that the offer does have a 5-hour time limit attached to it. Lastly, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the WWII-set first-person shooter Hell Let Loose. The multiplayer game offers 50 vs 50 combat in massive maps, with infantry, tank, and artillery options available for players. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: Hell Let Loose (Xbox Series X|S, PC) State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition (Xbox Series X|S, PC) Blasphemous 2 (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. The Free Play Days collection will show up in this area. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 11, at 11:59 pm PT.
