IE7 user progress (list) doesn't display background

das2012 · 05-15-2012, 06:46 PM

IE7 is not displaing the button background on my user progress. All other browsers are working fine. In short, the buttons are displaying with a white background...which makes the text difficult to see since it is also white . Here is how it should be working depending on their location in the 6 step process:

past = light blue button; css rule = active
present = white button; rule = current
future = dark blue button; rule = inactive

Here's some sample code that reproduces the problem.

Code:

I'm pretty sure this type of 'reverse psychology' and condesension will get you the help you need
