for events
Have you tried it with the border-collapse
There's nothing wrong with tables, provided they are used for tabular
data like rather than layout.
webmail entries,
invoices and payments etc
medal tallies (in case you do Smiggins Holes 2010 Winter Olympics site)
etc etc
And why not a table of events ? (as in this instance)

You could use negative margins to avoid the 3px bug that occurs when
floating the dt's in msiewin.
Hi Peter
This really looks like a valid use for the infamous table tag to me.

Without being able to test where I currently am at the moment (so forgive me if I am
wrong), you should be able to use:
list-style-position: outside;
within the ol style definition to do what you want.
The values for list-style-position are:
inside
outside
inherit

Or better yet... change that height to 1.2em and it will work with
resizing text too (up to about 200% at least)
looks like a job for a table!
or even a definition list...
why did you use an ol?
try this
#searchlist ol li span.date {display: block;height:20px;width:
100px;float:left}

Well - at the risk of getting flamed (fire retardant underwear turned up

nah, I guess I'm just getting a real kick out
Envelopes are good. Pushing them is good.
But - I suppose I still look at a table as being a table - and hence get
some backwards compatibility from it (especially in the case that Peter
has).
I am actually surprised at the number of support calls that we still get
that have people using
