the hilitedLine of list field isn't highlighted

[Slava Paperno]

Jacqueline,

You're responding to "email script" with obvious goofs, sorry--but a little
later I posted a link to a working demo that shows the problem:

My tests are in Windows 7, but someone on the list confirmed that the demo
fails the same way on his Mac. Does it fail for you?

Thanks for thinking about this,

Slava
