I have a small "dictionary" on my one of my pages, and all works right, except that NN (v4.75?) will not bold one column of data. IE5.5 works fine. This bit of data only shows up when the first letter changes. I am using 4.75 because we are bundled in the communicator/messanger/navigator package and cannot upgrade to 6 because it will not work with communicator (nice enigineering netscape!). I would let you look at it but it is on our test server. Do any of you see anything I am missing? It looks real bad because it is right next to stuff that actually uses the style tag right. I tried the working style tag and it did not work there, only the color changed. It looks atrophied and puny. thanks for your time.

I've just checked your page in NN4.76 and the text inside <div class=bodyL></div> was bolded (I also tried putting some dummy text there and it was bolded, too)...

Ahhh mr. max you are so right.

for some reason I did not think about putting plain text in that spot for a test. You could not tell, but this was part of a frame with internal links to the Alpha data. so the problem (for nn) was that I had included the tag/data (e.g. <a href "a">A-</a> ) in the database field itself. with the div tag outside of this (somewhat hidden) anchor tag, the anchor tag style overrode the div style tag. it all seems so obvious now.

thanks for the help
