the problem as the title.
See Question&Answers more detail:osYou should get the value of "font-weight" CSS property. In IE the bold value is "700" while in Firefox it will be "bold".
You need to get the computed style (FF) or current style (IE) of the element.
So for IE you will need to execute the following (it is in Java):
String strBold = selenium.getEval("var el = this.browserbot.findElement(<locator>);bold = el.currentStyle.fontWeight;");
boolean bold = "700".equals(strBold);
For the Firefox:
String strBold = selenium.getEval("var el = this.browserbot.findElement(<locator>);bold = window.document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(el,null).getPropertyValue('font-weight');");
boolean bold = "bold".equals(strBold);
