Ingo,

I'm interested in learning more about the IE 'has layout' phenomenon as it 
pertains to lists.  Can you point me to any resources that address that 
issue specifically?  I've found material on Microsoft's hasLayout property 
but nothing really on its effect on lists.

I have seen that IE and Opera lose ordered list item numbering and 
unordered list item bullets when list items are floated left or right or 
given an explicit width.  I'd like to learn more about the general 
phenomenon of which those are just two symptoms.

Thanks,
Paul
