DIV borders, Firefox = good, IE6 = bad

I’ve got a link list that is in <div>s and <ul>s for their layout. Every thing works great in Firefox but in IE the borders do not show up until you hover over the links. (I’m not talking about the link border, text-deco) Except for the first <li> which has it’s own class “first” ’cause I want border’s on top and bottom of it, those do not show up at all. I’m so sick of IE and these type of bugs. Anyway I appreciate the help, thanks in advance.

Link List:

[CODE]
<div id=”linkList”>
<!–extra div for flexibility –>
<div id=”linkList2″>
<!– If you’re wondering about the extra &nbsp; at the end of the link, it’s a hack to meet WCAG 1 Accessibility. –>
<div id=”subLink1″>
<h3 class=”subLink1Title”><span>Main</span></h3>
<!– list of links begins here. –>
<ul>
<li class=”first”><a href=”<% =vSiteLink %>default.asp”>Home</a>&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href=”<% =vSiteLink %>viewnews.asp”>News</a>&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href=”<% =vSiteLink %>viewdownloads.asp”>Downloads</a>&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href=”<% =vSiteLink %>viewpolls.asp”>Polls</a>&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href=”<% =vSiteLink %>contact.asp”>Contact Us</a>&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
</div>

<% If Session(“userGood”) = True then %>
<div id=”subLink2″>
<h3 class=”subLink2Title”><span>Members</span></h3>
<ul>
<li class=”first”><a href=”<% =vSiteLink %>members/”>My Homepage</a>&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href=”<% =vSiteLink %>members/projects.asp?mode=list”>My Projects</a>&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href=”<% =vSiteLink %>members/projects.asp?mode=search”>Search Projects</a>&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href=”<% =vSiteLink %>members/users.asp?mode=editprofile”>Edit Profile</a>&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href=”<% =vSiteLink %>members/users.asp?mode=changepassword”>Change Password</a>&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href=”<% =vSiteLink %>members/users.asp?mode=listusers”>Member List</a>&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href=”<% =vSiteLink %>members/users.asp?mode=search”>Search Members</a>&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
</div>

<% If Session(“userAdmin”) = 1 then %>
<div id=”subLink3″>
<h3 class=”subLink3Title”><span>Admin</span></h3>
<ul>
<li class=”first”><a href=”<% =vSiteLink %>members/admin/”>Admin Panel</a>&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
</div>
<% End If %>
<% End If %>
</div>
</div>
