<Font> and <B> confusion in frontpage
Hi,
I have noticed that in frontpage(2000) that when I make some text Bold and then change the font characteristic of the text it looks fine in preview mode but not when I publish it and view with IE5.5 sp2 (it does not have the colours)
The code Frontpage produces is
<font size="2" face="Verdana" color="#009999"><b>my text</b></font>
which when I look at it in IE5.5 does not have any of the color properties.
If I then manually swap the code around to have the <b>s outside the <font>s as ..
<b><font size="2" face="Verdana" color="#009999">my text</font></b>
It reads fine.
Is this a MS Frontpage feature or can I fix it?
Hope you can help
Regards
Charlie

I have tried it on a few machines now see page
http://www.ovingtonboats.com/content/i14/boatinfo.htm
the section "the dinghy world just watched in awe!" should be in white as per the code
<font color="#FFFFFF" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>the
dinghy world just watched in awe!</b></font>
same with the "Specification" section at the bottom of the page.
Any clues??

By right..
<font size="2" face="Verdana" color="#009999"><b>my text</b></font>
Is the correct way....
Or if it does not work still.. consider using CSS..
<STYLE TYPE="TEXT/CSS">
font { font-style:bold; }
</STYLE>
By right.. i believe it is your IE's problem :-) Never heard of anyone having this problem before..
Thanks
