Why is it strange? You are specifying 2 different font-sizes. Apparently IE8 renders it one way and IE9 renders it differently.

the !improtant is css hack for IE6,except ie6,all the browser will take the css attribut of font-size:11px;

I know. I'm just saying with every new version of IE things render differently. Have you used the IE dev tools to try and figure out exactly what is happening?

silverDrops 18-Apr-13 10:48am

I have used it!But I still can't get it.

It may actually be a different font. If you use the dev tools there is a trace styles tab so you can see where formatting is coming from.

But I haven't use other font in any elements.

Hm. Somewhat contradicting declaration can get you contradicting results...
The discrepancy between IE8 and IE9 is sorrowful, but what makes you writing so weird style?

I don't know anyone still supporting IE6, except for you I guess. :)

No, I have some large, slow moving, corporate machines as clients that still run IE6 as part of their workstation image.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 18-Apr-13 15:52pm

What IE6?! Did you ask about IE6, too? It's well known what to do with it.

The topic runs so far away from its point,or I just to search the articles about different render way of IE8 and IE9,perhaps I can find some clue.
