Hi,
Thanks for the link to the developer toolbar... I've had this in firefox for
ages, but had no idea there was one for IE.
Yes, I am seeing this behaviour on a winXP machine. The styling is done
client side, not server side... that's how CSS works... the stylesheet comes
from the server though.
I guess I'll just use a workaround that causes another (but less annoying
bug) instead for now.
Thanks for the information,
Andrew
