Re: Using dashed underline in CSS

["Mike Stockman" <mstockman -at- mac -dot- com>]

I don't have Netscape 7.1, but later versions of Gecko-based browsers 
(Mozilla 1.7x, Firefox, etc.) on Mac and Windows show a dashed line as 
intended when I try out your style.

Is it possible that an inherited style is messing with the TermLink 
definition? It could be a conflict that Internet Explorer doesn't notice 
but Netscape etc. do. For example, a still-open bug in the Mozilla code 
shows a conflict between dashed and rounded corners: 
<http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13944>.

Not sure it it applies to you (maybe you're using the span inside of 
another span that conflicts?) but it may be an avenue to explore... try 
the style in some standalone text (not embedded in any other styles) to 
see if the result is the same.

Hope this helps,
Mike
