Forum Moderators: not2easy
The header to my page consists of three rows, all styled by CSS.
The top line "superheader" doesn't display at all in IE5; the white text in "midheader" is black in IE 5; the red background to "subheader" is white (not red) in IE 5.
[Relevant code below]
I must be missing something pretty basic here guys - help!
[Both CSS and XHTML validate OK]

.subHeader a:hover {
