If my memory serves me correctly, I had this problem in 2002; when I
viewed some my web pages in the British Library - which was using
Netscape at the time, some fonts were too large, others didn't change
colour, and so on.

I believe someone in this group told me about closing tags.

I tried closing the <p> and <br> but no luck

Now, look at these.

This is the same file split into two. The first one is all right, but
the problem starts in the second one further down.

I really haven't a clue how this could be. There must be one specific
coding error somewhere that is causing this. One, not hundreds.

Yea, probably. It's an unclosed tag, or a wrong open one.
Given that it may be buried in a ton of other junk, it just hurt to look at it.


Whatever, I have no more time to waste on it. So if you're not using
IE, tough.

You already wasted too much time on it.


Thanks for nothing chickabiddies.

I fixed it hours ago.

The main page includes 5 new limericks. I say new, but they are all
over twenty years old.

There you go, wasting more.

You read them first here.
