I've got something weird happening ... or I've made a silly mistake.
This is my problem:
| Code: |
<em class="em">B. POEMS REFERRING TO ARTHUR THE GULEDIG</em><br>
|
The text isn't in italics as should be, nor is the css working.
This text is fine:
| Code: |
| <em class="em">A. POEMS REFERRING TO EARLY TRADITIONS</em><br> |
I can't see any difference in them. 
I hope someone can.
Here's the page in question.
http://www.celticawen.frih.net/poetry/welsh/4ancientbooksofwales/contents.php i actually see both on them with italics, using mozilla. I would change the name of your class:
| Code: |
(line 127)
.em {
color:#A65300;
font-weight:bold;
} |
To something not being "em", that may be confusing. How about take out the <em class="... thing and instead put <span class="italics"... and put in the class italics something like this:
| Code: |
.italics{
font-style:italic;
color:#A65300;
font-weight:bold;
} |
And that should work perfect! 
I changed the class from em to italics, but it's made no difference. In my browser, all the texts starting with a letter is in italics except 'B'. What I can't understand is the italics (em) is done in html - <em></em> There's no difference between B and the other letters, so this makes no sense.
Why <span class="itaics">?
It is because you are missing the "m" in "em" on B. 
Change this:
| Code: |
| <em class="italics">B. POEMS REFERRING TO ARTHUR THE GULEDIG</e> |
To this...
| Code: |
| <em class="italics">B. POEMS REFERRING TO ARTHUR THE GULEDIG</em> |
a tips.. let's say that you want 2 exact same things.. you have 2 codes.. 1 work, the other don't.. and u cant find out what's wrong...
copy paste!!! copy the one that works and paste it over the one that did not work.. can be easy to miss a letter or a slash or something sometime..

I did that. I copied and pasted 'D' into 'B's place and it didn't work. I was hoping I had made silly mistake like you mentioned, but I hadn't.

That only happened yesterday when I was playing about with it. As you can see from my first post, the m was originaly there - I copied and pasted it there. I've now put it back in and it still isn't working.
I've got an html version of this page on my laptop and 'B' is working perfectly in my browser, so I copied and pasted that line into the php version, but still no luck.
[EDIT] It's sorted, and of course, it was something really silly. The mistake was in the line above, I had <b instead of <b>. Thanks for trying to help [EDIT]

This is not work because your BR tag before is not closed.
| Code: |
<br
<em class="italics">B. POEMS REFERRING TO ARTHUR THE GULEDIG</em><br> |
It must look like:
| Code: |
<br>
<em class="italics">B. POEMS REFERRING TO ARTHUR THE GULEDIG</em><br> |
Sonam when i entered your site to check if it worked, it did. Are you sure it is not working? which browser do you use?

It looks like my [Edit] got missed by everyone.
Yes, I solved it all on my own, although I did make a mistake in my edit and say I had done <b instead of <br, but the result would have been the same.
It's always the silly little mistakes which does it. We look for major errors and miss the little things. It's another lesson I've learnt - if there's a problem it may not be where you thnk it is.ps. you could replace <em class="em"> with just <em> - it will automaticly be italic. And in your css-file, you could write em {...} instead of .em {...}
