Need help figuring out rendering issues...

[JackBlack]

Hi, all! Using Win2k3 Server & IE 6 (all patches) on one box (web server),
and XP/Pro & IE7 on another (workstation)... Project is a basic on-screen
calendar with dynamically created table rows and columns (server side) and
styles.

Odd problem: if I render the table normally, some styles are ignored (such
as the border-bottom attribute below):

font-size:10px;
color:Black;
background-color:#ccffff;
border-bottom:solid 1 black;
width:100%;

However, if I output ANY character before the page is rendered:

response.write(" ") or anything else, really

all of the styles work perfectly (but, of course, I now have rendered text
at the top of the page.

Is there some bug or oddity that I'm hitting here that's causing my CSS
issues? Confused here, and could use some input... :)

Thanks!
Jack

Curiously enough, it was the "width:" element that was causing the odd
rendering of the text. Once that was removed it stopped. However, the
"border-bottom" is still not rendering...
