It does though. You haven't even tried it.
I downloaded your page. The style you had was this:
dd, dt { padding: 0 10px; }
I changed it to this:
dd, dt { padding: 0 10px; height: 1%; }
And it worked.
This will also work ...
dd, dt { padding: 0 10px; position: relative; }
as the other person who replied has said.
I don't conjecture to theorize why but I'll state it
again:
When debugging IE display issues try the following on
the offending element:
height: 1%; and/or a position: relative;
Works miracles. And has no effect on other browsers.
