I know there are lots of Style Sheet incompatibilities between IE and Netscape, but has anyone found a workaround for the Netscape's problem with the [tt]<DL><DT><DD>[/tt] tags? CSS does not seem to be able to modify these tags' appearance in Netscape.

Netscape only styles DL tags. to assign the same style to your DT and DD tags simply put the style information in the DL tag. to assign different styles to your DT tags than your DD tags then wrap each DT tag and DD tag in <span> and </span> tags and assign the style to these <span> tags. this workaround also works in IE but is not necessary in IE as IE can accept style info for each DT and DD tags already.

Hope this helps. Klae

You're only as good as your last answer!
 
Thanks a bundle for the fast response and tips! I'll give them a try.
