Firefox bold text problem! No bold text in FireFox?
Question Posted Monday June 29 2009, 2:26 am
Why on earth can't I figure out how to make ctrl+b bold things on Firefox? I've looked everywhere online but can't find anything about how to get it to work. Is this a problem for anyone else? Anyone got a solution, by chance?

Text boxes, such as the ones used to ask/answer questions on Advicenators, only hold raw text. No formatting is allowed. It is possible to make a text box which holds formatting, but this can only be done by the person who made the website, and it's rather difficult for them to do. Firefox only follows the instructions of the web designer.
