Why don't you use conditional comments for IE6 and leave italics for
all the other browsers.
!--[if lte IE 6]
.italic {font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;}
![endif]--

Agree, but a simple old-IE hack in the stylesheet will IMO be better...
.italic {font-style: italic; font-weight: normal;}
* html .italic {font-style:normal; font-weight:bold;}
Mind the order.

Great websites Thierry. They are very friendly to my eyes. ...No, I didn't
try either what you wrote, or the other suggestions, because I didn't know
about them! :-) Thanks for the leads. Maybe I can revisit this on my site.

[css-d] IETester vs. Real IE6: discrepancy
Hello, In lieu of the real IE6 I use IETester from http://www.my-debugbar.com to test my code in IE6 and IE5, and I noticed something strange in doing so today. I tested my page http://www.draftingservices.com/building_survey.html in IETester and it showed my right column pushed down, as if I had an issue with my column widths. Then I booted up my other machine, on which I have the real IE6, and view the same page live on the internet and it showed no such issue. Comments??

Noticed that IE6, IETester and standalone dropped the right column when set to _normal_ or _larger_ font size, but lined it up correctly at _smaller_ font size. Might be a good idea to check for the IE6' auto-expansion bug, and maybe pull in, or at least zero out, the floats' backside margins - right side on #content and left side on #sideBar, to minimize the chance of that old IE bug causing float-drop. Those backside margins do no good in any browser anyway. regards Georg __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
