annoying IE problem with dashed CSS borders
 

Has anyone else noticed this problem with CSS borders in internet exporer.
Whenever you use the "border-style:dashed" style, ie highlights it or
something where it looks as though the spaces in between the dashes are
filled with white? It's really annoying and now it's going to prevent me
from using that style...dammit!

well what I just noticed is that when I resize the window, those white
things go away. What could it be? Could it just be something with my
computer?

your html and css is very invalid. fix your errors. after fixing the
errors and changing to a DTD to invoke "standards" mode the problem
was still there and appears to be an issue with the absolute
positioning. don't absolutely position the <div> or change the border
to 2px.

sp2 is the latest IE release. run windows update.

You forgot putting a "#" by border-color. It must be border-color: #999999;
Can also shorter border: 1px dashed #999;

Use percentage or em for font size instead of fixed font size. Sothat the
visitor can decide what kind of font size they like best to read.

When finished the page validate it with http://validator.w3.org/ (for html)
and with http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ (style sheet).

much appreciated. I actually discovered a workaround for the problem that
seems to do the trick. I simply placed a clear 1x1 bg image and stretched it
across the whole screen--works great. I'll post it up now--same address.
