Sorry for my spamming this list, but I think I have found the solution to my original problem of background-colors not appearing (see http://archivist.incutio.com/css-discuss/?id=12093 ) It appears that if you use both an id and a class selector multiple times with different class names, only the first declaration for each id thingamajig is remembered. I've put a clarifying reduced test case online at http://jan.moesen.nu/.temp/20020903_ie6_id_class_combo_bug/ Could you verify this? Is this indeed a bug for IE6/Win (or more IEs)? -- Jan! It's about time I stopped pretending my .temp is a temporary folder.
