Undoing <B>

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 14.2007

Lately I seem to be getting my Bold <B> type face Stuck in the bold. Below is a sample. No matter what I do, it stays bold

<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE=4>
<B>The Solar / Photovoltaic Situation</B>
</P>
</FONT><FONT SIZE=2>
Shown Below is the first commercially available

The last line is Still bold!

It happens here and there, within tables, outside of tables etc. The Bold stays on and it is briving me bonkers. Once I even added </B> X5

I tried this and it worked. But this is deprecated: the "<b>" and the "<font>" tags should not be used. And the "<FONT SIZE=4>" is not explicietly closed, so perhaps opening a new "<FONT SIZE=2>" is invalid.

<p [B]style="width:400px; margin:25px auto 10px auto; font-size:1.1em; font-weight:bold; text-align:center;"[/B]>The Solar / Photovoltaic Situation</p>

<p s[B]tyle="width:400px; margin:10px auto; text-align:center;"[/B]>

is more updated. The STYLE(s) can be combined to form a "class", and apply repeated styles many times (other <p>s ).

@ryanbutlerAug 14.2007 — Though your code is incorrectly closed, the second sentence is not bold in any modern browser for me. Do you have a full web page you can show us via a URL?

@ray326Aug 14.2007 — You'd have less trouble if you used (semantically) correct markup. That's a heading and a paragraph.

@motuitiauthorAug 15.2007 — First forgive me but I'd prefer the basic old fashion html code.

The ending of the right column of a table IS NOT BOLD, In my final paragraph of my page it shows up bold with no <B> indicator. (As a test I removed all <B>'s in the whole page - same thing????

...........According to the temperature. [I](not bold)[/I]

@YelgnidrocAug 15.2007 — I've found your website!

In your original post, the bold is not due to <b> but due to <h2>, you closed the bold (which you didn't start), and didn't close the h2. You also start <tr> tags and don't close them.

&lt;!-- ********** FIRST COLUMN OF MAIN TABLE TABLE ********** --&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD align=left VALIGN=TOP&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG SRC="NEW1.jpg"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a name="PA"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;[color=red]&lt;h2&gt;[/color]
&lt;P ALIGN=CENTER&gt;&lt;FONT SIZE=4&gt;The Opening Salvo&lt;/FONT&gt;[color=red]&lt;/h2&gt;[/color]&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT SIZE=3&gt;[color=blue]&lt;/B&gt;[/color]

You could do with an editor that will flag these issues up for you.

Also, as mentioned by other posters, CSS is the way forward.

@YelgnidrocAug 15.2007 — Not the X kind then?

You can do what you like, within the law. But there seems little point in coming here if you don't want coding advice that's up to date.
