I know IE is finicky with what HTML tags it will render CSS on.

I wanted to put a border around two rows in a table, that were organized into a tbody tag. Unfortunately, IE is not rendering the border for me (Firefox is working fine).

The attached files show what I'm trying to do, which is what works in Firefox. The yellow color is a hover state effect done with CSS on the tbody's td.

Any ideas?

Sounds like a specificity issue. That is, if you've defined border for that class, you might have to put in a rule for .classname tbody for IE to chew on it. And you'd want to put that in a conditional comment. Got a link or the code? Oh, yeah, don't forget that if you have rules for links specified (since you mentioned hover) the order MUST be link, visited, hover, active. The mnemonic for that is LoVeHAte. Again, that's for links, can't put it on a td.
