[thelist] Mac IE5 and floated divs and IE6 class over-riding

Hi all

I'm just finishing up a personal web site and I've run into a CSS problem that I just can't figure out. For the photo album sections of my site I'm emulating a table with divs of class .tr and .td styled with the following CSS:

.tr {
 width:100%;
 margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;
 clear:left;
}
.td {
 float:left;
 padding:10px 0px 10px 0px;
}

For an example check this: http://www.donotremove.co.uk/pics/collection.asp?collection=3&type=Travels

This works fine in pretty much every CSS2 compliant browser (many thanks to John Witchel's BrowserCam) but for some reason IE5.2 for the Mac just doesn't float my .td divs. Instead, all the pictures cascade down the page... Anyone have any ideas? I don't have a Mac to test on so debugging this is kinda hard. :-(

Another minor problem I'm having is with IE6. The current menu item is supposed to be highlighted. To do this I assign the current item's link the 'current' class which is supposed to over-ride the 'li a' rule's color. This works fine on N7, O6+ and Moz1.x but IE isn't having any of it. Help there would be greatly appreciated too.

Many thanks!!!
