both good ideas... I like the color one best. The border thing can throw 
off windows broken box-model. Come to think of it, if it wasn't for IE 
css wouldn't be difficult at all. I spend almost all my time trying to 
figure out ways around IE's bugs. width:100px or drats I have to make 
windows only width:140px etc... And that darn peek a boo bug is sending 
me over the top argh!
