Have we fixed the italics bug in IE yet? Have we? Oh, the suspense is killing me. For some reason the border (on the right) seems to go out the window as soon as there are fonts in italics (at least Verdana / Arial) next to it. What actually happens is that the box is streched out a couple of pixels and thus appear “broken”.

Update1: I guess the problem still exists. Seems fine with Firefox and Opera though. I’ll see what I can do to compensate. I really like italics. Not being able to use the tag is almost like refraining from using punctuation marks.

Update2: After doing some searching I realized that this bug is old news. And thanks to the University of Wisconsin-Platteville Web Development Office’s quirks site I was able to remedy it. The solution was simple. Just add an extra <style=’width: 99%;’> </div> around the text field. Nesting it closest to the actual text. It was not possible to just throw it in the .boxtext CSS group that I use to format the item boxes. It had to be an extra <div> or whatever. Of course I also had to decrease the margin-right of the .boxtext to make up for the extra space. Tested in Firefox as well.
