I hope you only use !important for testing and such. Every time !important is used in production code, God annihilates an entire galaxy of kittens
What does the CSS panel in devtools say? (Chrome, or Safari: I find the devtools in IE virtually unusable, and never really use the FF ones, so can't say how reliable they are these days.) Is there something way up the inheritance chain that's also using !important, and comes after the one in your stylesheet? Framework styles that get semi-secretly imported at weird locations in the page can cause a lot of problems that way.

Nope, it's my only !important and only to try and make the bloody thing work. As it hasn't, it'll go
Anyway, gonna wrap a span round it and colo(u)r that. Horrible and hacky, but wasted too much time on it already, and seems to be the conclusion that everyone who's asked the question on stackoverflow has come to. Using clientCo machine which is IE - the thing's got to run in IE at the end of the day.

Make sure you leave a comment blaming everything on Microsoft, for whoever comes next
I'm trying to resist the urge to spend another bunch of hours setting up my fancy new lab/dev/test/demo/whatever environment but I left it with an issue, so no doubt I'll be back up there in half an hour banging my head against a brick wall.
