    Losts of things don't show up in IE so as long as they are there and show up in Firefox then i wouldn't worry

    That is an odd problem isn't it?

    The only thing I could think of is that with you upgrading to IE9, it changed something in "protection mode", not allowing certain HTML?

    Good luck! Let me know how it turns out.

    That is awful advice.

    Do you have any idea how many people use the various versions of IE? Here is a hint, it's more than firefox or chrome or safari or any other browser.

    Cutting out the majority of web traffic because you happen to not like a browser is not only stupid it's piss poor business.

    If a web designer can't get similar or identical results from all browsers then they have no business designing web sites.

    IE should be the first browser your checking to make sure your site looks right. Everything else (CSS3) is bells n' whistles and not important.

    To the OP, something is wrong with your code. It's not IE.

      You are right it is bad business but im pretty sure my code is on point here let me put in a snippet.

      Code:
       <!--/header -->
  <div id="columns">
    <div class="index-cols">
      <div class="index-col1">
        <h2><a href="webdesign.html" class="index-cols">Web development</a></h2>
        <p class="underh2">&bull;&nbsp;To be successful a good website is key.</p>
        <a href="#"><img src="images/img1.jpg" width="283" height="102" alt="image" /></a>

      Today, a designer will give you a site that works on modern browsers, but will not care if it doesn't look "perfect" on IE6 or IE7. I have stopped worrying about old IE versions. It's too much of a pain. Twice the amount of work.

      ^ wth is this comment some kind of cryptic abuse for the op?

      anyways - yeah ie 9 hasn't dropped h2 tag support so you must have made some other glitch in your code. maybe post the offending fragment and let us take a look.

      just to convince yourself make a super short valid page with just a heading and some text so you can see ie 9 will show h2 correctly!

    sounds like a css issue - can you send me a link to your css, typical something styled hidden or may even be overlayed with something....

    its difficult to say without seeing the whole picture - please feel to pm me

    Have you checked the source code to see if the h2 tag exists in there? - it probably is showing but differently - maybe create an ie(version) specific css class of "h2 a.index-cols { [styles here with !important;] }"?

    I have not installed IE9 yet, but as you tried the "compatible mode", I assume it still there
