Hi guys,

I have this :

Code: 
#container {

}

    #container a {

    
    }
    
    #container a.iscurpage {
    
    font-weight: bold;
    
    }    



<div id="container">

    <a href="">-----</a>
    <a href="">-----</a>
    <a href="" class="iscurpage">-----</a>
    <a href="">-----</a>
    <a href="">-----</a>

</div>

The iscurpage link is bold on Firefox but not in IE.

What's going on??

Thanks ;)

Change your links to include some text rather than just hyphens and you'll see it actually is bold:
Code: 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">[/URL]
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Test Environment</title>
    <style type="text/css">
     #container a.iscurpage {font-weight: bold;}
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="container">
      <a href="">Test 1</a>
      <a href="">Test 2</a>
      <a href="" class="iscurpage">Test 3</a>
      <a href="">Test 4</a>
      <a href="">Test 5</a>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

Sorry for sounding harsh, but what you say is pure nonsense.
Links can be made of whatever characters we want.

Anyway, my links are already normal links, and it still doesn't work.

Did you even bother to try my example before calling it "nonsense"? If you had you would have seen what I saw. For example, why does the following look bold when the text says "Test 3" but it doesn't when exactly the same class is applied but the text says "-----"?

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">[/URL]
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Test Environment</title>
    <style type="text/css">

     #container a.iscurpage {font-weight: bold;}

    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="container">

      <a href="">Test 1</a>
      <a href="">Test 2</a>
      <a href="" class="iscurpage">Test 3</a>
      <a href="">Test 4</a>
      <a href="">Test 5</a>

      <a href="">-----</a>
      <a href="">-----</a>
      <a href="" class="iscurpage">-----</a>
      <a href="">-----</a>
      <a href="">-----</a>

    </div>
  </body>
</html>

There's a misunderstanding here chaps.
ca8msm advised you that your hyphens do not appear bold even though they are. He was pointing out that it would be clearer if you viewed text during the development stage.

Well, I'm very sorry for the confusion.

Also, I forgot to write that I had "font-weight: normal" in #container. So it's now clear that, on IE, the bold state doesn't replace the normal state.

I had to remove the normal weight and it works now.

Sorry again :(
