Thank you for the speedy reply, Terry.
Pardon my ignorance, but I am unsure as to how exactly this would correct
the issue mentioned? I'm not having an issue with the DT, DD layout in
heights or positioning, merely the background colour. And even more oddly
is when I try to specify an !important so that when IE sees the property,
it simply ignores it, it somehow still applies it again.
Opera, Netscape and MozFF all render the DL fine.
So my question is: Is there a known issue with background colours in IE
for DL, DT & DDs? Is there a hack to fix it?
Cheers,
D
