First of all, thanks to the many emails I received about styling tables.

Now, I have a div (divMessage) that can contain error messages (class = ErrorMessage) or
informational messages (class = InformationalMessage). Firefox displays this as desired, but IE (6)
doesn't. IE seems to apply whichever style is listed first.

I have included a test document with the styles inline. I have included two divisions with the same
ID for ease of testing (change the name of either one) -- although Firefox will display both. 

If you move ErrorMessage before InformationMessage, then it will display and InformationalMessage
will not. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.
