Went to lunch and calmed down. Came back, and started methodically working through things and temporarily deleting them to see if it affected the text and yup: it's the filter I had in IE to provide a half-ass drop shadow behind the text boxes. Sigh. Not gonna happen: I prefer nice text to half-ass drop shadows. (Full-ass drop shadows work nicely in CSS3-compliant browsers, but not IE, nooooooo.)
Does anyone here have a clue as to WHY, in IE, my text displays in an ugly manner while this other page's text, which I've tried to replicate as closely as possible* in the CSS within the parameters I'm using, displays nicely smoothed? I cannot figure out WHY WHY WHY mine is displaying this way! HELP!

If you want to scan the code, here's the URLS: mine -- http://library.tcu.edu/friends-new/ theirs -- https://honors.tcu.edu/HonorsFrogCampMovingtoSevillaSpain.asp I'm using the Bootstrap CSS framework to build it, so the answer may be buried in there somewhere (although the Bootstrap page displays just fine...)
PLease note: I do not need peeple to tell me it looks fine in browsers other than IE, as I know it does (at least in mine) and the majority of our viewers use IE.
* I temporarily changed the color to the color codes they're using for text and links for the sake of comparison. The text on MY page will be BLACK or the DARKEST of DARK GREYS at the end because I've got older people trying to read it.
