Stylesheets and custom tags in IE 1

[NoCoolHandle]

I dont know that this is the correct forum, but if it isn't could you either A. Point me in the right direction or B. If you have the answer, could you please give it to me

In IE7/Netscape and Firefox..I can add a tag with a custom "class" attribute and then modify the components that use that class via a style sheet. In IE 6 the style sheet isn't picked up when the page is returned to the browser.. ANy help or advice appreciated..

I.E.
(in the asp/aspx)

response.write "<div class='_custClass'>Cool Red</div>"

and in the style sheet..

._custClass
{
  color:red;
}

Should give me

"[red]Cool Red[/red]" but in IE6 I get "Cool Red

Can you paste the resulting HTML that is sent to the client?

Oh, and there are two things that you shouldn't be doing from the example you've given:

1) Using Response.Write to write any of your layout to the page
2) Using css classes that begin with an underscore

Mark,

thanks re the _ bit.. that was the cause.

Re the response.write.. acutally I was adding the content to a labels.text property.. the result was nested <div>'s

It just goes to show. Don't follow blindly. The underscores came from some static html that I had to build around and I didn't change it.. That will teach me a lesson.

Again.. My thanks
