Bold text does not display in internet browsers

I am working on editing a website for a client that I did not originally create so I am having trouble trying to figure out what the previous designer did.
I need to make certain text within paragraphs bold, which I normally do by inserting <b> </b> tags. However when I do this in my coding, it does not display as bold in any of my internet browsers ... IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc.
Can someone please help me with this or suggest what I may have to change in my coding?
Thanks,

The reason it is happening is because the <strong> element is the child of an <em>, the <em> is in turn the child of a <p> tag and all of them are set to inherit the font attributes from thier parent tags. The first parent in the chain with a font setting is the <div> tag with the "left_column" class.
The "left_column" class tells all of those child tags to set their text as 14px, black, Arial due to the font:inherit.
The reset is meant to allow you to create css styles for all future tags without any default style being applied by the browser (as Rik suggests, creating the actual " strong {font-weight:bold;}" in your css would also do the trick). Since you don't specify any attributes for those tags other than "inherit your font styling from your parent", they take their attributes from the first parent element with an attribute.

  • Text does not display in address bar or any windows I open

    Text does not display when typing in address bar. When I open a window (eg Edit > Preferences) no text is displayed within that either.
    Problem has persisted through Ubuntu 12.04 (possibly 11.10) to 13.04. Has also remained after re-installs, both through use of Software Centre, and through Terminal commands, and after running purge of all firefox content.
    Running Firefox as root using gksu command also doesnt help.

    Have finally solved,
    1st checked default system fonts available using unity-tweak
    Then went to ~.mozilla/firefox and found prefs.js file, deleted everything to do with fonts and families, saved and restarted.
    The odd thing is how this file persisted despite removing and purging firefox.

  • Importing PDF to illustrator. Text does not display.

    I am using Illustrator CS6 on windows 7. I created a document on Illustrator CS4 on mac osx and exported the file to a pdf. Now when I want to edit the pdf in illustrator the images and drawings display correctly, but only certain text is shown. Not any text in particular, but just random lines of text within paragraphs. The rest of the text does not show up at all. What could be the issue?

    Why not open the AI file?
    In any case, as Monika points out, the PDF really needs to eb created with the AI editing capability turned on. That way, AI is opening the AI data contained in the PDF, not the PDF data.
    Take care, Mike
    ***Oops, cross-post. I see you did preserve the AI data now.***

  • Mini player does not display tracks internet radio

    Hi, i downloaded iTunes 11 a couple of days ago and noticed that the mini player does not display the tracks played on internet radio stations. It keeps displaying the track that was playing when switched from the main screen to the mini player. Anyone around with a solution? All previous iTunes versions that I know displayed the actual information, I have never before had this issue.

    Ok, only now found out this is a well known issue, see other posts under "More Like This" on the right hand side of this screen. Really hope Apple solves this as this is clearly an issue for users.

  • Lion text problem: Some text does not display properly in Safari and Firefox

    Hello
    Some text in Safari and Firefox is seriously degraded, making it useless. I changed to Firefox because Safari was displaying wrongly, but Firefox displays the same way, so it seems to be an OS problem. See image as an example:
    I cannot see subtitles on BBC streamed movies, and the timing of the movies on the bottom ribbon do not display correctly.
    I am using Lion 10.7.5
    Is there a solution for this problem?
    Thanks for any help.

    Unbelievable (and I still cannot believe that) - is wmode="transparent/opaque/etc" - not supported by safari ? then how do you suggest we go about transparent flash elements on web pages? why isn't it working on safari while on every other browser on earth it does?

  • Lync 2013, text does not display in chat box. Windows 7 pc with dual monitors.

    Has anyone experienced an issue with Lync 2013 where when someone sends a chat the text doesn't display in the chat box. Or on occasion when initiating a chat, the text typed in doesn't display? The person experiencing this
    behavior has dual monitors and often times when she is working on a document - then goes to Lync and initiates a chat and types, the words do not display in the chat box. Her graphics drivers are current, (8.15.10.2869). At one point she was able to drag the
    chat box over to the monitor on the left and then the text displayed. Since then she has received a brand new laptop, windows 7 and the Lync behavior continues but now her dragging the chat box to other monitor no longer resolve text display issue. Ideas?

    Hi,
    Did the issue happen if only use single monitor?
    Please update to the latest version for Lync client 2013 and then test again.

  • Applet does not display on Internet Explorer

    I have written a program using MS Edit, I have run the program, and I have compiled the program.
    But when I use a web browser to run the applet, it does not disply the applet. Instead is makes a gray empty area. I would like to know what I should do to get the applet to display. Thank you.
    ernest_efienamokwu

    Hi Ernest,
    Make sure the applet code is written proper by running it using appletviewer.
    If that works, the HTML file used to run the Applet might be wrong, Verify the Applet tag and codebase tags.
    Refer to Sun Tutorials on how to do this if you are in doubt.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • PO item text does not display in form at first. Only after saving PO

    Hi Guys,
    We're facing a peculiar situation. We print line item texts of a PO in the smartform. However what we noticed was that as soon as the PO is created and we choose to print the po, the item texts do not appear. When we checked in tables STXH and STXL theese texts were not even registered in the tables. All this time the PO is saved.
    Then we went back into the PO in ME22n, made a slight change somewhere and saved the PO. Now these texts appear in the tables STXH/STXL and also in the print out. What could the reason be?
    Regards,

    Hi
    You should check your PO customizing, probably the text is set to be loaded in modification only

  • Text does not display correctly on web page

    Much more often than I like, I will find what seem like randomly selected 'foreign' characters replacing punctuation marks (I think) that should be there on web sites. The following text is an example-
    "This download is provided “as is” and has no warranty. If you are not satisfied with "
    I have wondered if it was a result of using a display font that didn't include whatever character was supposed to be there or if it was because I specified the wrong default encoding, but nothing I've specified in the Options makes any difference.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == Firefox 2.0 was first installed and every version since

    This issue can be caused by the bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or another (bitmap) font that can't be displayed by Firefox in that font size.
    Firefox can't display that font in the specified size and displays gibberish instead.
    You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
    Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or find a True type version of that font that doesn't have the problem.
    Try this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
    <code>data:text/html,&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="25"&gt;abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica Neue" size="25"&gt;abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ&lt;/font&gt;

  • PDF text does not display properly

    My coworkers made a PDF (using Acrobat Pro and MS Office on Windows) that displays properly in Windows, Mac, Android, and iPad (iOS 6). However, on two different iPhones (v3 with iOS 3, v4 with iOS 5) the PDF displays with no text and only black gradient rectangles where the first line of each paragraph should be. The backgrounds & graphics look normal.
    Inspection in HexEdit and Acrobat Pro show it's in PDF 1.5 format, all fonts are embedded subset.
    Any suggestions?

    According to here, here, here (iPhones specification pages) and here (an article from NYTimes) iPhone can read .pdf files with any iOS version.
    But in your case... Sorry, I don't know more than it... I have different kinds of PDFs on my devices (iPhone and iPod Touch) but I never saw something like it...

  • SMS text message header does not display sender information

    When I receive a text message the only header information that displays is the date and time.  The senders information does not display.  The lines are not even there.  There is no way to reply to a text message or tell who the sender is.  This problem is only with SMS messages.  Regular email headers display just fine.  I have done a wipe, reset, reload, everything possible with no luck.  I am the only one in my office with this problem.  I have not been able to find any information or postings from anyone having the same problem.  I can read the text message, but there is no header (except for the date and time).  Any thoughts?
    Blackberry Curve 8350i

    I was able to resolve the problem by uninstalling the Blackberry desktop manager software and reinstalling it selecting Internet Email vs. Blackberry Enterprise Server.  If you get to the screen that asks you to choose which type of email service you use and you accidentally choose the wrong one your phone will work but will do strange things, including sending all sorts of redirect emails.  For me, this seemed to do the trick.
