Text is restyling even though I'm using the same CSS
Hi!
I can't for the life of me figure this one out. I'm linking to the same stylesheet and I've even tried using the very same code for the links. I don't know why on the first (ezine) page, the text is styled with italics but not on the second (links) page. It's not supposed to be in italics- (the links page is correct). I looked for the italic tag but it's not that either.
ezine page: http://budurl.com/xkju
links page: http://budurl.com/ur9h
Can anyone figure this out? There's probably some awesome html person who will see it right away.
Thank you so much for your help!
PS: I'm getting the message on this forum:
"The following errors occurred with your submission: You are only allowed to post links once you have at least 5 posts. You may post the URL but you must uncheck "Automatically parse links in text" in the Additional Options below." ... I did uncheck it but I'm still getting this error message.

Re: Text is restyling even though I'm using the same CSS
Hi there nvisages,
and a warm welcome to these forums.
you will find the answer in the HTML not the CSS.
Here is an example to get you started...
Code:<strong>Sign up for </strong><em><strong>Conscious Living, our</strong></em>
Also note that double posting is a no no in the forums.

Re: Text is restyling even though I'm using the same CSS
Hi and thank you for your answer!
I just checked and that's not it, unfortunately. The text you indicated is actually intended to be italic. The problem I'm having is the REST of the text. For example, all of the body copy as well as the bottom links appear in italics although I have not put <em> around them.
And just so you know, it wasn't my intention to double-post, it was my intent to MOVE the post. I originally posted in the HTML section, then thought it should have been in the CSS section so I put it there intending to delete my original post ... but someone had already replied to the first one as I was creating the replacement post so I didn't want to delete the original.
You'll notice I had mentioned that on my first post, the one in the html forum.Last edited by nvisages; 04-02-2009 at 08:18 AM. Reason: checked the solution which was provided and noticed that wasn't it :)

Re: Text is restyling even though I'm using the same CSS
I just noticed that the <em> wasn't what was causing the trouble so I edited my reply ... see above
My challenge hasn't been resolved.
(For future ref, Would it have been better for me to have added a second reply or editing the first reply?) Thank you

Re: Text is restyling even though I'm using the same CSS
Hi there nvisages,
I am sorry about that.
I looked at the wrong link.
The problem on the ezine page...
- http://budurl.com/xkju
..is, again, not in the CSS but in the HTML.
You have an unclosed em element that causes all the text that follows to be italicised.
I have highlighted in red where it is to be positioned...
Code:<div id="quot"> <p>“<em> I appreciate your dedication and passion to improving the lives of others, and I have enjoyed learning the following from you: 1- simple, applicable, easy to remember techniques, 2- how to use positive affirmations to clear energy instead of just focusing on what is perceived as ‘wrong’, 3- the importance of keeping a gratitude journal, 4- how to use a profound tool (EFT) for healing. ” </em></p> — Anah L., Wellness Coach, Hawaii </div>

Re: Text is restyling even though I'm using the same CSS
YOU are absolutely the BEST!!!! Thank you! Wow, that's it!!! Do you have *any* idea how long I was looking at this trying to figure it out? lol
Thank you so much.
The funny thing is, as I came to the forum here, I kept reading this, "...Remember being a youngster, mom or dad telling you "close the door"? Well the same applies to HTML ...." never even realizing THAT was my very issue! (Shaking my head at self)
I wonder if there's a tool online which will check opening and closing tags ... do you know of one?
THANK YOU!!!!

Re: Text is restyling even though I'm using the same CSS
Hi, I saw your need of a Html/XHtml/Xml validator (!?!). Here you have one of the bests (unfortunaly only for sites on servers
)
Please note that W3schools.com is a very good place to learn almost everything about WWW. I learned HTML and CSS by printing their guides and reading them when I had time.
