Do you have the link to page's where this exists?

Comment 2

[David Boswell]

Here are some examples:

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/
http://www.mozilla.org/about/faq.html

It looks like in these cases it is used on the <dt> elements.  Checking the style sheet would show if it is used elsewhere.

Also on the projects page it's attached to the h3 tag.

Comment 4

Fix for projects is on line 174 on the screen.css and line 168 for the faq.html. We need to remove the "text-transform:uppercase". Since this is my first bug i'm not sure what the next steps are.

Note that we're refreshing the site design and reducing the amount of all caps.  You can see some mockups at the link below -- note that the global nav is no longer using all caps.

These aren't implemented yet but will be soon.  Feel free to reopen if there still seems to be too much on the site when these changes go live.

Casey, also feel free to let me know if you're interested in working on a different fix for the site.

If you have other fixes you feel are more important please feel free to put me on those projects.
