[ale] CSS hell

AUGH. No! That is the WRONG ANSWER.

The right answer is to find out where the problem originates. In this
case, it is browser rendering behavior regarding lists. For my solution,
have a look at this implementation of your page, Christopher:

My fix displays consistently across Internet Explorer, Mozilla/Firefox,
Opera, and Konqueror. Using tables for layout is a nasty hack and is never
a real solution. 

For an explanation of the list issue (and how I fixed it) have a look at
this DevEdge article:
