I have used this in my HTML:

<q> Hai How r u </q> 

Which shows the text in quotes, like ‘Hai How r u’, for example.

This is working fine in FF but not in IE 6.0.

Please let me know why this happens, and any solutions you might know of.

I don’t want to use the quote (‘) character in my HTML or a separate css file for this.

    A List Apart had a whole article devoted to the <q> tag:
    Long Live The Q Tag

    The summary is to add CSS to remove the quotes from Firefox and other browsers and then manually encode them in yourself. It’s a bit of a pain, but at least it levels the playing field and you know that your content will look the same cross-browser.

    If you really don’t want to have to type the quotes in yourself, then take a look at these articles:
