<em></em> tag shows as bold not as italics in Firefox. But it shows as italics in Internet Explorer. It also shows as Italics in Dreamweaver. Why is that? How can I make Firefox show <em></em> as italics? Thank you. Jeffrey Feng yfeng@whittier.edu

tag shows as bold in Firefox, but it shows as italics in Internet Explorer. It also shows as italics in Dreamweaver and Contribute. Since our web designers use Dreaweaver and Contribute to create web pages, texts are formatted as italics when they use tag, but when the end user browses the web using Firefox, they see bold text instead of italics. How can we remedy this problem with Firefox without changing hundreds of pages which contain ?

Thank you.
