Hi all,
I'm just wondering why http://www.karmanaut.com/clients/capegallery/
looks just as I'd expect it to in Firefox, but utterly wrong in IE6.
Have I missed an end tag, screwed up an important declaration, or is
IE really this bad?
For example, this line:
<h2><b class="artist">Melissa Hirsch</b> <em class="title">precious
ocean</em></h2>
(I realise I should use strong instead of b, OK, but I don't think
that's the problem) -
should be given some definition by these declarations in the
stylesheet at
http://www.karmanaut.com/clients/capegallery/style.css
specifically these lines:
.artist {
color: #FF7800;
letter-spacing: .1em;
}
.title {
font-family:Georgia,"Times New Roman",Times;
color: #758F9C;
font-weight: normal;
letter-spacing: .1em;
}
h2 {
margin-bottom: -.5em;
}
so, orange text for the artist, bluegrey serif italic for the title.
But not in IE - I get it all in a dark grey sans-serif. Where is this
coming from?
Also, I would have though that:
h1 {
font-variant: small-caps;
font-size: 1.5em;
letter-spacing:.17em;
margin-bottom: -.8em;
}
would get me small caps for anything in an H1 - and it does in
Firefox, but not in IE.
Any clues would be much appreciated.
Regards,
V.
