1px dotted borders in IE6 (not dashed to pieces)
This example is to defeat the 1px dotted border bug in ie where the dashes disappear and merge when the page is scrolled using the middle wheel on the mouse. It also defeats the fact that ie shows 1px dotted borders as dashed borders (when the element doesn't have "layout").
It simply places an element inside with a border in the current background color that rubs out half of a 2px dotted border on its parent to give the illusion of a 1px border. This achieved by using an all around -1px negative margin.
2px borders don't suffer from the bad redraw bug in the same way that the 1px dotted borders do and they also display as dots and not dashes.
Note: Not sure if its worth all the effort though :)
