[thelist] Style sheet problem!

I've added these to my sheets:

b {font-weight:bold}
i {font-style:italic}

Seems redundant, but does seem to solve the problem you describe.

Subject: [thelist] Style sheet problem!


On a site I am redesigning, I'm trying to use style sheets to
primarily control text and color attributes.  On one page a table is
getting messed up due to style sheets when rendered by Netscape 4.7.  The
page is rendered just fine until I do something like add some <b> tags.

If you are running Netscape 4.7 or thereabouts please have a look to see
what I mean:

Here's the stylesheet:
<!--
BODY {
background-color: white;
}

.mainbody {
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12pt;
color: black;
background-color: #cccc99;
}

.minorbody {
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12pt;
color: black;
background-color: #ffffcc;
}

.bottommenu {
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
color: black;
background-color: white;
text-align: center;
}

.rightmenutop {
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
color: white;
background-color: #336699;
}

.rightmenu {
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
color: black;
background-color: #cccccc;
}

.tracker {
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
color: blue;
background-color: white;
}
-->


Any ideas?? Is it just a bug with netscape?  Any known workarounds?
