[ale] Do browsers treat secure sites differently WRT style?

[Jim Lynch]

I have a static page that renders differently under ssl than normal.  I 
have no idea why.  The page has styles for some of the elements but not 
the one that is different.  A table served by ssl has the same default 
background color as the rest of the page.  When it is being served by 
plain Apache, the background is white. 

Any idea why?  Konqueror does the same thing, ditto Opera and IE6.

Jim.
