Frank,
your main problem from what I can see is that, as you're floating everything,
you need to use a lot of "clear", but as you're still removing things from the
normal flow, you're getting issues with having the container elements, which have
the background colours applied, to show through properly...as there's nothing
in them anymore, with all that floating.
Assuming you want to go with the definition list idea, here's something I cooked
up in a few minutes. It might not be perfect, but seems to work ok.

Subject: [WSG] Lists & weird <br /> requirement
Hey all,
I've been running into a few weird problems with a layout I'm working on.
I'm retrieving results from a database, and displaying each record in a
<DIV>, with each item in that record, displayed in an unordered-list.
The problem I'm having is when trying to alternate row-colours. For some
reason, I can't seem to get the row colours working. It just won't work.
I'm not sure if there's an issue with the way my style sheet is being laid
out, or if I'm just not doing something properly.
I've also noticed that in order to get all the items in the record to
display properly in the DIV, I have to add <br clear="all" /> just before
closing the DIV, otherwise, the content overlaps the bottom border of the
DIV.
Here are the screenshots of the problem I'm having:
a) http://c9.homelinux.com/iiiglobal/with_br.JPG (Alternating rows should
be visible, but they're not)
b) http://c9.homelinux.com/iiiglobal/without_br.JPG
Here's a link to the stylesheet:

Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you!
