The following CSS (specifically the TEXT declarations) works perfectly in Firefox, but when it comes to IE - the arguments are not applied to the text. Any ideas?

Code:
<style type="text/css">
body
{
font-family: verdana, arial;
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #585D73;
font-size: 12px;
}
#stage
{
	width: 780px;
	margin: 0px auto;
}
#footer
{
text-align: center;
font-size: 10px;
}
#index_login
{
text-align: left;
font-size: 8px;
}
#searchform
{
 display: ;
}

n

{
color: #9BCBCF;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: normal;
}

ans

{
font-weight: bold;
}

ll3

{
color: #B3B3B3;
}

a
{
font-weight: bold;
color: #949CD9;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover
{
background-colour: #2F313C;
}


</style>
Any ideas? Thanks.
