.footer_italic { font-size: 9px; font-style: italic; } <span class="footer_italic">Text goes here</span> The CSS above works perfectly within Firefox. Unfortunately this command does not italicize the selected words when the page is displayed in Internet Explorer. It appears to me that command is perfectly valid but for whatever the reason it does not produce the desired results in IE. Any suggestions or comments are welcome! Thanks!
I just tried it and it works for me in IE7 (see the source if you want), you must have another css rule somewhere that is overriding this one... Not sure why it wont work for you, you may try just changing the position of the rule, move it to the top or bottom of your other css rules incase it is being overridden..
Thanks Neticule for replying!! I tried out your link, it works perfectly in IE & FF! I searched through the file containing the CSS rules and I can't find any word or similar to the word italics. Could there be something else I may be using that would stop the rule above to work? BTW, I removed the "_" from the name of the rule. Cheers!
Did you try moving your footer rule to the very bottom of your rules? and if that did not work, try putting it at the very top. You may also try putting the css directly into your span tag like this: <span style="font-style:italic; font-size:9px">Text goes here</span> I know its not a great solution, but if all else fails you might have to use it, or you could always use the <i>italic</i> html tag if nothing else works. I cant for the life of me think why it wont work for you, especially when mine did. Let us know what ya find
Neticule! I moved the rule to the top of the file and now the rule works. Thank you so much Neticule! Now if I could only get that box to fit properly on one page in IE.
Glad that worked for ya! IE is tough when it comes to getting things to fit right, takes a LOT of fiddling around, for me atleast
