For some reason on Mac/IE it's dropping style classes that are applied to bold tags. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks!

yes....below a certain px size, it does.

This is happening regardless of pixel size. The only way I've been able to fix it is to remove the class declaration from the bold tag and put a span class declaration on the text within. Unfortunately, a massive amount of the code that has this is inside a database so I can't just find/replace.

I really wouldn't worry about IE for Mac I told everyone that it was obsolete.

eh...tags are gone...did you try using strong instead of b tag?
- Dancer0
strong is different to bold though, depends on the context of the copy I suppose but they are different and both complient

I'm hoping to avoid having to change the actual html code since it exists in a huge amount of database records. So the ideal solution would be something that's completely CSS based

try using a [span class="myclass"] instead of b or strong

I've managed to fix one instance of it, but there's another that is still keeping me lost. I have an anchor tag with the color set to gray, then within that tag I have part of the text bolded and set to an orange color text class. What happens in Mac IE is that the entire link then becomes the orange color instead of just the text within the bold tag. WTF???

i was serious dude. you will run into nothing but more and more issues like these trying to make this work. unless you are budgeted to trouble shoot this thing (more power to you if you are) you are in for a day/weekend from hell.

What madrish says, don't waste your time unless you get paid extra.
This usually closes any disputes with client regarding whether you should support it or not:
