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.. :)

    • I gave up on browser ad-blocking extensions a few years ago, replaced them with Adguard. Not perfect but overhaul is a nice app that does the job on both Windows and Android with the respective versions.

    • "Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version" In my experience uBlock Origin Lite does the job for normal everday home users. When they kill that we get to watch Firefox and Brave get a boost in user market share.
    • Block by DNS ad blocker! I dare you! I will even layer unlock Origin, on top of my internal DNS, if I need to and I don’t even block ads today (I really should but this type of behavior makes me angry). I suppose I could also just be lazy, and add the flags myself, back to each release (it wouldn’t be that difficult).
    • Wonder what MPs have ties to these privacy/verification/data harvesting companies that are going to step in this time. Last time under the Tories half the cabinet had fingers in the pies, heck even the PM and his wife at the time was working for silicon valley, probably made a fortune.
