I don't have too much to say today. So I thought I'd let these guys say it for me. It sums it up exactly. And congratulations to Padraig Harrington for winning the British Open. Legend. Watch and enjoy.

This is a shopping blog and therefore I don't normally write about HTML and CSS stuff but I have just spent 3 infuriating hours trying to work out why it is that 'highlight' text refuses point blank to display in Internet Explorer.
This is from the website I am working on:
and
Note: I used the term "left" as the highlight is to appear in the left menu bar.
Display was perfect in Mozilla and Opera but IE wasn't showing any highlight. In fact, it just reverted to the original style specified.
After much pain and use of IDs (#), etc, I was no closer to a solution.
Then finally I discovered a command used if the text is to be highlighted say, in the middle of a sentence. I used the following:
And wouldn't you know, it worked. The highlight displayed properly, even in Internet Explorer.
So, to avoid pain and suffering for others, I decided to post this fix for highlights displaying properly in IE. I hope it will save some people some time and frustration.
Peace. I'm going to go and have a chamomile.

Speaking of awards, I've been reviewing all the purchases I have made in the last year or so - I suppose I'm coming to a point where I reassess the value of everything I have bought. Sometimes I find I have bought an item that becomes completely useless after a week. I have rated these purchases on two criteria - frequency of use and practicality.
