How can I style the header of dialog?

Why won't IE allow one to apply style to a list header element?

• I've been trying to apply style to the list header element in a definition list to make it appear to be a subheading. It works well in Firefox (best browser ever), however when IE renders the text it removes all style... why is this, and is there a way around it?

• Answer:

  Which version of IE? You should upgrade to IE7 when debugging, webmasters can't be bothered about how ealier versions render their pages. h1-h6 are used for headings, also in lists. Example: -----StartCode----- <ul><li><h3>Menu links</h3></li></ul> -----CodeEnd----- See also: http://www.brugbart.com/?TID=2 - (Paragraphs and Headings) I recommend using them as follows: h1 - Main headings/Articles h2 - Section headings h3 - Menu titles (Depending on layout) The LH tag was a part of the abandoned HTML 3.0 draft, i suggest you use html 4.01 strict instead. http://www.brugbart.com/?AID=4 - (The Importance of Doctypes) See http://www.w3.org/TR/#Recommendations For a list of current W3C Recommendations.
