problem with tabs in MacIE5.2: msg#01250

Subject: problem with tabs in MacIE5.2
Hello all - I'm having a slight problem with tabs in my design that I'm hoping someone will see the obvious solution for (the one that has, alas, so far eluded me).

The tabs on this page,

http://www.pipmg.com/test.html
http://www.pipmg.com/main.css

work exactly as I want them to in Moz; using an in-line list, when the <li>'s class is set to "active", it's bottom border's colour should be the same as the background colour (thus covering up some of the next div's top-border, giving the effect of a real tab.

In IE5.2 (osx), however, the border remains black; or rather, the black border from the div below remains visible. What are the two browsers interpreting differently that would account for this difference?

Thanks for your help,
Jamie

Here's the pertinent code:

<ul id="tabs">
        <li><a href="#" class="active">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Portfolio</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Accessibility</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Links</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="main">

/* navigation tabs */

#tabs {
font-family: arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: black;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: left;
background-color: white
}

#tabs li {
display: inline;
list-style-type: none
}

#tabs a, a.active {
padding-left: 4px;
padding-right: 4px;
padding-top: 4px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
border: 1px solid black;
text-decoration: none;
color: black;
font-weight: normal;
background-color: #DDDDDD
}

#tabs a:hover {
background-color: white
}

#tabs a.active {
border-bottom: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
font-weight: bold
}

#tabs a.active:hover {
background-color: #DDDDDD
}

#main {
border: 1px solid black;
width: 98%;
height: auto;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding: 1%;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
text-align: left;
}
