My memory is shot!!!

I know someone mentioned how to use CSS to apply a color behind
nominated text. Can someone please jog my brain?

There was also a workaround for the same due to a rendering problem in
NS4.

Thanks for the help in advance.

It's the same principle demonstrated here:

Add a border, even if it's one pixel, in the same colour as your
background,or even border:none.

.nominated {background:#ffc;color:#000}

(have to declare 'color' too, if you want a 'background' color or image)

(don't use this one with images, or their positions will move around in NS)

border:none

Thanks to the Susans,

That's exactly what I had in mind.
