Hi:

    In my phone book (of 613 multi-line entries in a table),  I am currently 
'bolding' the names of the people, and leaving other fields 'unbolded'.

    Now, when a user decides to change the sorting order to street address, 
I wish to 'unbold' the names, and bold the street addresses.

    So, is there a 'placeholder' HTML Element Tag that I can use for all 
sortable fields (and later search for) so that the text is displayed 
correctly but *unbolded*.

    I did a short test, and determined that undefined element tags (e.g. 
<nobold>Hi There</nobold>) are (apparently) ignored and the text is 
displayed correctly.  Does this happen (i.e., underfined element tags are 
ignored) across all major browsers ??

    Then, when the user changes the sort order, I can 'bold' what needs to 
be bolded, and 'unbold' the other fields (in this phone book).

Thanks !
