Font-weight:bold; - works in firefox, safari, internet explorer 6 BUT NOT ie7

font-weight bold; on an external css style sheet is working in every browser (INCLUDING ie6) but NOT ie7?
I just don't get it. It even works in ie6.
NOTE:   One thing I should mention is that I have a conditional Internet Explorer statement, for a Internet Explorer-specific style sheet that targets ie6 and ie7.
But I don't think that's the issue because every other style is working properly EXCEPT font-weight:bold. This is absolutely maddening.
I tried searching around for solutions and the only lead i found was writing [ font-weight:bold !important; ] using that '!important' statement I thought would somehow force ie7 to acknowledge it. But no dice. It failed.
Here is the accursed code:
#date {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight:bold !important;   /*   bold not showing up in ie7 !!! */
font-size:.85em;   /* Is font-size affecting bold in ie7 ?? - was 85% */
color:#000000;
text-transform:uppercase;
margin-bottom:-.75em;
margin-top:6em;
Again, it works in every browser, including ie6...BUT NOT in IE7.
Any help will keep me from pulling my hair out. Thanks.

So it's still not BOLD in ie7.
- My css is validated.
- My HTML still shows 19 errors with 3 warnings, which is down from 31 errors with 3 warnings.
• Although most of these errors are directly from the 'Active Content' JavaScript that Dreamweaver places within your HTML when you insert Flash SWF files on your page. So I don't think I can even correct that.
• The next series of errors concern the P element. Which I think are because in 5 Paragraphs in a row, I gave them each the same relationship attribute (rel="lightbox[blog02]"). Why else would these paragraphs come up as errors when every other paragraph is perfectly fine? The errors the validator says are happening, aren't happening. It says that certain P tags aren't closed and it's not true, I can see with my own eyes that they are. I think the 'rel' values are confusing the validator?
All the major errors I took care of though. I replaced all the repeating ID attributes with CLASS attributes. I really thought that would have done it, but no. However, at least I'm no longer getting ID errors when attempting to validate.
So now I'm stumped.
I have no clue what to do next with something I thought would be so simple. I mean give me a break. I'm just trying to BOLD a line of text...smh.
So currently every browser, including the illicit ie6, shows the BOLD...BUT NOT IE7.
Sorry for the all caps, it's just so ridiculous to me.
Although I learned that validating your styles and sites is an important step in publishing your site. I also learned how to properly use ID and CLASS attributes.
However if anyone out there can point me in the right direction, it would still be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Starting in safe mode resolves problem but about 500 add ons suspected

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck!

Why does my Web Handler work with Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox

I am trying to develop a web page that uses the Simile Timeline (http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline) with data from SQL Server.
In initial testing of my timeline I tested it with Example.xml, a static XML file in the correct format to be event data. I wrote the following in the appropriate place within mytimeline's Javascript: -
var WebHandler = "Example.xml"
tl.loadXML(WebHandler, function (xml, url) { eventSourceFamily.loadXML(xml, url) });
This worked fine with both Firefox and Internet Explorer. I then changed the assignment to
var WebHandler = "GDBTimeline.ashx?Type=Family&Userid=" + getControlValue("input", "hdnUser");
so that invoked a web handler that could look up the SQL database and return the XML that I wanted, and wrote this web handler.
This works perfectly with Internet Explorer, but with FireFox the timeline band is blank. Yet when I examine the http traffic with Fiddler2 (http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/) I see that with either browser there is a response from URL
/GDB_pages/GDBTimeline.ashx?Type=Family&Userid=robertb
that returns the XML that it is supposed to.
I have previously used web handlers with Firefox before, with no problems. The Fiddler results conclusively show that the web handler is invoked, and returns the appropriate XML, and this XML is identical to the XML from the static test with Example.xml.
Where do I start looking for answers? I don't even know if this is a Simile problem, a Firefox problem, or an ASP.NET problem.
Thank you, Robert.

Problem solved. The issue: Content Type was not correct.
Visual Studio creates the web handler with dummy code like this: -
Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
context.Response.Write("Hello World")
End Sub
I wrote a database query that set a string variable to the XML I wanted: -
Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
Dim Outstring as string
' my logic to fill Outstring with XML
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
context.Response.Write(Outstring)
End Sub
This works with Internet Explorer. However it's not strictly correct: to make it work with other browsers as well,
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
should be
context.Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
It now works with IE, FF, and Chrome, and presumably all others.

Javascript in Dreamweaver error in internet explorer but not in mozilla

Hi,
I had a friend create a image viewer of flash files for my
site so when you roll over an image it would show the flash SWF.
However it stalls in internet explorer but works fine in mozilla.
How do I make it work on both here is the code that was used :
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function loadSwf()
document.getElementById('swfLayer').innerHTML = "<object
type='application/x-shockwave-flash'
data='images/Multimedia/orbit.swf' width='400'
height='300'><param name='movie' value='orbit.swf'
/></object>";
function loadSwf2()
document.getElementById('swfLayer').innerHTML = "<object
type='application/x-shockwave-flash'
data='images/Multimedia/banner.swf' width='400'
height='300'><param name='movie' value='banner.swf'
/></object>";
function loadSwf3()
document.getElementById('swfLayer').innerHTML = "<object
type='application/x-shockwave-flash'
data='images/Multimedia/logo.swf' width='400'
height='300'><param name='movie' value='logo.swf'
/></object>";
function loadSwf4()
document.getElementById('swfLayer').innerHTML = "<object
type='application/x-shockwave-flash'
data='images/Multimedia/babypicture.swf' width='400'
height='300'><param name='movie' value='babypicture.swf'
/></object>";
<div id="linksLayer" style="position: absolute; top:
390px; left: 440px; width: 492px;">
<a href="javascript: void(0);" onmouseover="loadSwf();"
style="color: #999999;"><img
src='images/Multimedia/orbit.jpg' onmouseover="loadswf();" />
<a href="javascript: void(0);" onmouseover="loadSwf2();"
style="color: #999999;"> <img

Unable to use all the feature of my email service (Juno on the web) like; font size/color, bolding, italics, highlighting etc why? Those features work through Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

When I go to my Juno on the web through Firefox, I am unable to use the tool features such as:
Font size / Color
Bolding
Italics
Bullets
Highlighting
just to name a few. Yet when I bring it up through Internet Explorer these features work, plus the way Firefox reads my Juno the tabs are distorted (the page is not formatted correctly, I contacted Juno they said I should contact my modem company AT& T they said no so you are my last resort.. Please help resolve my issue, THANK YOU in advance for assisting with this matter.

It is up to Juno to enable Midas, the Rich Text Editor which is built into Firefox, with one little line of code on every web page that has RTE for IE. There's nothing that you can do to turn that feature on your self, it has to be coded on each web page that has Rich Text Editing.
http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midas-spec.html <br />
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Midas
Their ignorance probably lies with their staff programmers only knowing how to do it for IE ''(their training and certificates are probably from the Microsoft cabal)'', and not realizing that Gecko and WebKit apps each have their own Rich Text Editor's, which require their own small line of code to enable those Editor's.

Sessions not working in Firefox, Safari and Chrome, but working in iexplore

Hi,
I have been running Tomcat 5.0.18 jdk 1.4. and have just upgraded to Tomcat 6.0.24 jdk 1.6..
I have an app that you need to log on to in a jsp page. When succesfully logged in it redirects to a framed page with 3 pages in it.
All elements of that framed page check for a valid session, if there is one, it displays itself, if not, it redirects back to the log on screen.
This has worked fine for years in all browsers. But since upgrading, in Firefox, Safari and Chrome, when the parent framed page jsp checks for a session, its fine, it passes, but when the other sub-frame pages check for a session, it comes back as a new session, i.e. its not picking up the session that has just been validated and redirects to the login page. Iexplore still works fine. i.e. all 3 pages validate ok.
Any ideas why these browsers are not pickng up the session?

As a test, try putting an empty JSP in front of it that triggers the session to be created, and then redirects (with a HTTP meta refresh for example) to the frameset jsp to see if that fixes anything.
If that fixes it, then I guess the pages load too quickly.

URL links provided in emails (Windows Mail) stopped working. I get a popup message: "Windows cannot find...." asking me to make the URL is correct. I connect to Internet Explorer, but not Firefox, my default browser.

I have already updated Firefox to latest version and reset the default mail program to Windows Mail. But Windows Mail now doesn't want to recognize Firefox. If I shift to Internet Explorer, I have no problem. I have no problem receiving or sending emails, just using links contained in them.
This happened suddenly, two days ago, at the end of a day when linking had been possible, per usual.

nothing that I could find would solve my problem, so I just gave up trying...
then I had a group of Microsoft Updates badly interact with each other, causing me all kinds of stability problems involving SQL and printer drivers.
To fix those issues, I backed out all updates within the prior two months, then [slowly and painfully!] reinstalled them -- when done in groups, you can tell how Microsoft corrects bad updates by noting which ones are not reinstalled.
I also had to download and install every single MS SQL update available before everything that was broken worked again. Note that none of the updates had titles that suggested anything at all to do with web browsing (other than Internet Explorer) or Firefox.
There was also at least one Firefox update shortly after my re-installation of Windows Updates.
Funny thing happened along that path: as of today (version 32.0.1) has none of the problems I reported, but I cannot say for certain which change fixed them: I was far more concerned fixing SQL and printer issues to even test Firefox for default file association settings.
Sorry that I cannot be more useful, other than the general suggestions to:
(1) keep your system fully updated with all patches
(2) keep your anti-virus, anti-malware, and anti-spybot software current as well
(3) keep any program that uses HTML and other browser protocols also up to date
(4) take regular snapshots of your registry, and create a system restore point before every system and software update, so you can more easily back out problems
(5) keep the installation package(s) for prior version(s) of software (and Windows Update files) at least until you verify an update hasn't broken anything.
Hope that helps.

Flex Plugin that calls Webservice works in Internet Explorer but not firefox

I created a simple flex plugin that consumed a web service i
built and was working with it locally. I uploaded the files to the
server, and when i test the file out in internet explorer, the
plugin loads great. However when firefox or any other browser
attempts to load the same file i get "Http Request Error"? I've got
a crossdomain.xml loaded up.. here it is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy
SYSTEM "
http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false" />
</cross-domain-policy>
Any ideas? Thanks. I should note that the webservice and the
plugin are both on the same domain.

I was playing around some more, when i yank the
crossdomain.xml, both browsers display a security error, but when i
put it back in, internet explorer is happy but firefox still spits
out "Http Request Error"

There is a task bar that should be visible so you can expand the viewer to the full size of your computer screen. I can open up internet explorer and it works, but not in FireFox. This is when using ESPN3, or ESPNWATCH.

I have flashplayer which works in Internet Explorer but not some sites using Firefox. I refreshed but no change and i DID lose all my bookmarks. Help!

Listening to BBC Radio was possible until today but now in Firefox I'm told to install Flashplayer. i have tried that 3 times but with no effect. The same with videos on BBC and some other sites but on others it works. If I use Internet Explorer everything is fine. So there is clearly an interface problem with Firefox which has only just started. I tried refreshing believing that it would retain all my favourites and other information/settings but most were lost. I'm 73 not technical so a simple solution if possible please.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; '''Old Firefox?'''
