Style defined in page header works in FF but not IE

Question

FireFox 2.0.0.15
Internet Explorer 6.0.2900
ApEx 3.0.0.20
I need to conditionally display data in red and with strike-through in a standard report (multi-column, multi-row); in effect some lines will be normal, some in red and strike-through.
I declared a style in the page header
<style type="text/css">
st {font-size: 7.5pt; color: red; text-decoration: line-through}
</style>
and wrapped the data in <st> </st> tags in the select statement based on the condition.
This works fine in firefox but not at all in internet explorer. Because the requirement is based on a condition, I must do this at select time.
Anyone got any ideas? If you have I may also ask how to do it on a manually built tabular form (using apex_item).

Hi
I would change your code to this (notice the . before st):
[style type="text/css"]
.st {font-size: 7.5pt; color: red; text-decoration: line-through}
[style]
In the select, use [span class="st"][span] (or any other suitable tag).
I am surprised your method worked in FF, as "st" is not a standard tag AFAIK.

NB: replace [] with &lt; &gt;
