When I add this CSS style to my recordset output it loss's the BR information
but only in IE

CSS:
.maintext {font-family:Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:lighterer;letter-spacing:0.1em;text-align:
left;color: #000000;text-decoration: none;}
.maintext a:link {color: #006600;text-decoration: none;}
.maintext a:visited {color: #006600;text-decoration: none;}
.maintext a:hover {color: #ffffff;text-decoration: none;background-color:
#006600;}
.maintext a:active {color: #ffffff;text-decoration: none;background-color:
#006600;}

> .maintext {font-family:Arial, Helvetica,
> sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:lighterer;letter-spacing:0.1em;text-align:
> left;color: #000000;text-decoration: none;}

No such value as "lighterer". In fact, there is no function to
font-weight:lighter other than font-weight:normal.

Where should we look to see the problem you are having?

What? The possible CSS2 values for font-weight are:

normal | bold | bolder | lighter | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 | 700 |
800 | 900 | inherit

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/fonts.html#font-styling

This is also true for CSS1:

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS1/#font-weight

For instance, font-weight: lighter will shift a normal font (value == 400) to
300 if the inherited font-weight is normal/400.

You talk in theory. As far as I know, no browser supports anything other
than 300 / 900 (i.e., normal and bold).

They accept them in practice too, but only render them at 400/700
(normal/bold). The real question here is whether or not the browsers fail to
support them or do the fonts used fail to support them?

In practice, I never use anything but normal or bold anyway.
