    that should work in IE 6. Check your css for missing ; and syntax errors.

    Also, background: #FFFFFF; is the short-hand version of background-color: #FFFFFF;

    I figured out (just now) that it isnt my background but my height & width. I have them set to 100% but it is only hugging what is contained.
    These are span's inside td's and I need them to fill the whole cell. My code works in IE5.5 but not IE6.0... (I have yet to test for NS6+ and am not looking forward to that)
    Thanks

    yeah, I have seen height 100% not work with IE 6 too. Not sure why.

    One thing you may want to try is setting the <td> width and height to 100% and then placing the class name inside the <td> like so:

    <td class="className" width="100%" height="100%">

    hmmm... that wont work because I have the td's set to 20x20px (this is a calendar and some days need to be different colors) I guess what I could do is set the background-color of the td's themselves. But there are some items w/in the days that I 'hilight' by stretching the span to the width of the td and coloring the background to yellow. I guess since I do know the width of the td I can set the span to the same correct?
    Thanks
