I use a list within div.features to display featured links. To make it easier to read, the background color of alternate list items is a different shade (these colors vary depending upon the color of the page wrapper - e.g. containAbt - but that's irrelevant to this post).
This method works in most browsers including MSIE 7 & 5, but MSIE 6 and 5.5 completely ignore the list item background-color(s). See http://browsershots.org/screenshots/d9ed6fa974ff8ea1ce1b47ab530ddc5d/ Any suggestions on getting IE 5.5 & 6 to color the list items (even if I abandon the alternating scheme for those browsers)? The relevant CSS (rules without color info omitted for clarity): #containAbt .features { background-color: #e4a849; } .features { border: 2px solid #540b13; background-color: #e4a849; width: 80%; text-align: center; } .features li { list-style-image: none; list-style-type: none; border: 1px solid #540b13; color: #333; padding: 1px 2%; /* all hail Gunlaug! */ margin: 2px 0; } /* use container wrapper colors for 1st, 3rd, 5th, etc li's */ #containAbt .features li, #containAbt .features li+li+li, #containAbt .features li+li+li+li+li, #containAbt .features li+li+li+li+li+li+li, #containAbt .features li+li+li+li+li+li+li+li+li { background-color: #F7EFD5; } /* use darker shades for remaining li's */ #containAbt .features li+li, #containAbt .features li+li+li+li, #containAbt .features li+li+li+li+li+li, #containAbt .features li+li+li+li+li+li+li+li{ background-color: #ebdab3; Thanks in advance!
