bug 385 - valid CSS class names that fail in IE6

Issue: #385
Affects: IE6

In IE6, attempting to use a valid class name that starts with an underscore will fail.

Example:

<style type="text/css">
  ._myCSSClass {
    /* This is a valid Class Name, but it will fail in IE6 */
    border: 1px solid #ff0000;
    margin: 1px;
    padding: 3px;
  }
</style>

Known Workarounds: None. The only option is to name all classes with an initial [a-zA-Z] character.

Example Workaround Code:

<style type="text/css">
  .myCSSClass {
    /* This is a valid Class Name, AND will work in IE6 */
    border: 1px solid #00ff00;
    margin: 1px;
    padding: 3px;
  }
</style>

Related Issues: None.
