ok, I have an h-tag, assigned with a class, nested inside a div-tag, assigned with an id. I wrote some style for my h-tag in my stylesheet, but when I load up my page in IE, the h-tag gets given the style assigned to the div-tag (with the id) and ignores the style for the h-tag.

If you're lost I'll demonstrate:


<div id="mydiv">
<h1 class="myh1">My Title</h1>
</div>

I gave style to myh1, but IE ignores it and gives it the style from mydiv. Is this a common problem with IE?
(everything is fine when viewed using Firefox)
 
This sounds like some kind of non-intentional CSS hack... show us minimal HTML + CSS code that behaves as you described.
 
Once you gace styles to "myh1" there should be no reason why they would be ignored. As vongrunt said, show us the code.
