It appears that IE renders it's display: none in all caps while Firefox and other browsers pass it back in lowercase. This throws off my php line of code the is supposed to nuke blank bullets from a string of text: $bl = <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_ug2_col5_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_ug2_col4_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_ug2_col3_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_ug2_col2_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_ug2_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_ug1_col4_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: list-item" id=bullet_ug1_col3_8>Reserved Frontstretch Tower Ticket to the NextEra Energy Resources 250 on Friday Night </LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: list-item" id=bullet_ug1_col2_8>Reserved Frontstretch Tower Ticket to the Camping World 300 on Saturday </LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: list-item" id=bullet_2_8>Reserved Frontstretch Tower Ticket to the Daytona 500 on Sunday </LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_addon_col2_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_addon3_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_option2_col4_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_option2_col3_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_option2_col2_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_option2_col1_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_option3_col4_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_option3_col3_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_option3_col2_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_option3_col1_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_option4_col4_8></LI> <LI style="DISPLAY: none" id=bullet_option4_col3_8></LI> I want to keep the "DISPLAY: list-item" lines, and nuke all the others. The below above are sent to PHP in a variable called $bl. I then try to nuke the "DISPLAY: none" lines with something like: $pattern = '/<li[^>]*style="display: none[^>]*>/'; $bl = preg_replace($pattern,'',$bl); $pattern = '/<li[^>]*style="DISPLAY: none[^>]*>/'; $bl = preg_replace($pattern,'',$bl); But it appears that the case-sensitivity fix is not just a matter of making the letter capitals. I'm sure someone who knows more than I about preg_replace will see the immediate error of my ways. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
