"strong" font goes weird in IE
 

Hi. I have some text in a column down the side of my home page that uses bold font in part of the text. It is defined in a .tpl file and looks like this:

<li><strong><FONT>This is the bold text</FONT></strong> This the normal text</li>

it works fine on firefox, chrome & safari but I just realised that it's not ok in IE. the strong font shows up way oversized in IE - like about a 20 point font that blows the whole column of text out and stretches the page down.

i have a similar of column of text down the left side of my page and it uses the same structure with strong text and shows up fine in IE. weird... can anyone tell me what's going on and how to fix it ? thanks.

Try without <font>. Just <strong>This is the bold text</strong>
