Does IE ignores custom css selectors?

Question

IE is freaking me out.

my css code looks like this:

kl {
    font-size:10pt;
    font-weight: bold;
    color:#6e90a6;
}

and my html code looks like this:

<div id="testid"><kl>test</kl>

Why does IE ignore my CSS code?

Answer 1

You're making custom tags? IE deals with custom tags differently than other browsers.

Why not use span and a class, I think IE6 might respond better, just a might.

<div id="testid"><span class="kl">test</span></div>

.kl {
    font-size:10pt;
    font-weight: bold;
    color:#6e90a6;
}

Answer 2

I would use a css class or an id, but if YOU MUST have your custom tag, then I believe you need to define your tag in the XSL and then include that in your page in order for IE to recognize it.
