Hi all
Well, I spent all afternoon trying to get this to work on IE5 (it's for
an intranet), brought it home and it's equally broken on IE 6.
I'm using a right floated definition list for navigation and an
unordered list to display news links. If I add a custom image to the
unordered list, IE decides to chop off part of my right floated <dl>.
Remove the custom image and everything's fine. I cannot for the life of
my work out why - it's doing ir in IE5+6.
Also, Moz 1.2 adds a large gap at the top of the <dl>. Whilst it isn't
imperative that this is fixed, I'd like to know why it's doing it.
And finally IE6 and Moz are making my <dd> elements shorter than my
<dt>s. I could just increase their width, but it feels like a bit of a
hack.

chopped in IE)
http://www.thespiceweasel.com/csnews/newscentre2.html (no bullets, no
chopping)
I'll warn you now, there's a fair amount of CSS in there
