How do I call something from the CSS stylesheet in Internet Explorer?
I've defined this block in my stylesheet:
#featured z3, z3 a, z3 a:visited {
margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-family: Geneva, Arial;
font-size: 31px;
line-height: 35px;
font-weight: normal;
color: #cc0000;
letter-spacing: -1px;
text-decoration: none;
}
When I put <z3> Big Red Headline </z3> it works perfectly in Chrome and Firefox, but it doesn't work in Internet Explorer. How do I fix this?
The HTML where I try to implement this is:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content" class="container">
<div id="front" class="column_main">
<div id="featured"> <!-- The 1st post, with the black background by default -->
<?php query_posts('showposts=1'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_category(', '); ?><i> - <?php the_time('l, F j, Y G:i'); ?> </i></h2>
<z3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></z3><br>

To combine the previous answers, and perhaps make things a bit clearer, there is no z3 tag in HTML. It may be that some browsers will still identify this as a tag, and be able to apply styles to it, but you really can't expect something that to work reliably.
It looks like what you're trying to achieve is another level of headings, in which case you should use <h3>, or alternatively, you could, as noted, use a <p> or some other "real" tag with a class or ID.

When defining your classes with dots in the stylesheet you can try something like <p class="z3">My big headline</p>. Else if you are defining with # then try something like <p id="z3">My big headline</p>

HTML doesn't allow you to define tags. What you tried to do there is simply not supposed to work.
