HTML has a bolding problem
 
I am trying to make a website at school for a web design class and one of my pages is having issues. All my pages are linked to a style sheet and it is set up for normal, 12 font, monospace text, but one of my pages is not following this. The text on the body is becoming bold without any reference to a bold tag in the html or in the CSS. Has any other web designer had this problem? If so, what did you do to fix this.

If it is online from google, sorry for not looking, I have like 2 minutes left of class so...:)

Best way to find out what's going on here is to use a tool like the Firefox DomInspector or Firebug.

Both of them will allow you to select a particular element in your page and find out what styles are being applied to it. You'll usually be able to see the problem fairly quickly -- eg "Oh yes, I'd forgotten that my stylesheet has a bold setting for all <p> tags within that <div>".

Hope that helps.
