The code snippet* validates for css and html, the link works in IE6
and firefox,
but in IE6 one can't give focus, the hand cursor isn't there, and one
can't change the border-color via css.
is there a workaround for any or all of these three issues?
adding content to span does not appear to effect the outcome.
cheers
