[thelist] IE5.0 Mac help with this table

Hi Tom, 

   I was having table problems and came upon your post. I thought your
problems might be related to mine, but they are not. Regardless, I solved your
problem and thought I would share the answer.
   You problem is that you are declaring the class on the tr and table
elements. Declare the classes on the td elements.
   You can see a working example with slightly easier to understand class
names at:

HTH,
Alex
