I'm having a strange problem...

I have a table where the rows alternate white/gray. The gray row is set
with a class where 'background-color: #ccc'. Each row has a cell with a
list in it. The strange thing is, in the rows where the class is used
(the gray ones), the right side of the list is cut off in IE6, but not
Mozilla. If I change the 'background-color' declaration to another, or
if I get rid of the class altogether, the problem goes away. I don't
want to use 'bgcolor' for the row. Any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks,
AC

Where? URL?

It could be the IE peekaboo bug (though the symptoms do
not quite sound right), or it might be elephant mating season.

Better, with an URL.

Here's a sample of what I'm talking about.

The list menus described in the above message are going to be javascript
popup menus, but I'm keeping them visible for the time being. Notice the
ones with a gray background are cut off on the right when viewed in IE6.

Thanks,
AC

I don't have an answer to your question, but the ID attribute can't
have spaces in it. "ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter
([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits
([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods
("."). "

Thanks for the tip...I wound up getting my code to code work by
implementing the Tantek box-model hack (though I'm not sure exactly
which part of the hack fixed it).

Thanks,

Do you have a reference for that information? Thanks!
