Issue 27: Problem with High contrast view

Issue Summary

In tested modules in particular with Assignment, Goals, Mail, etc you cannot view the page in high contrast mode. The page becomes distorted and sometimes foreground and background colors become the same. The cause of this problem is incomplete CSS-based styling. WebCT has improved the styling significantly in Vista 4. The pages I have tested have around 73% CSS styling. This is really good but there is still some way to go.
