It's appeared with Mozilla 1.1a. Best I can figure is that IE and Mozilla 1.0 and under didn't support "hover" styles for block-level elements, while Moz 1.1a does. The style sheet asks for it, though, and Moz does it's best to comply - resulting in Bold, Underlined text in every content block on the site, switching to that whenever the mouse passes over the text. The point is that even if it doesn't show up for the majority of users, it's still a mistake to ask for it. It would harm no

The issue with underlining and bolding the text on the page in Mozilla is explainable -- the site's style sheets specify that it should be. Apparently many browsers don't support hover markup on blocks, but Mozilla 1.1a does. It's presence in the style sheets is probably a mistake, not corrected because in testing it didn't cause a visual glitch with IE. One way or another, though, it should be removed. It looks terrible.

I'd just like to say that the efect of having text-decoration: underline on all content of this site is wildly unattractive, and decreases the usability of the site a great deal. Here's the offending line from the "woody" style sheet: .content:hover { font-family: MS Sans Serif,microsoft sans serif,arial,tahoma,verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; color: #1B0500; text-decoration: underline;} Alexander
