For whatever reason, there are times when attribute selectors will not apply before the page is displayed in IE7. This actually just happened to me. My selector was table[bgColor="#c0c0c0"] and would not apply on page load.

The attributes applied after that. This is reproducible exactly in good ol' IE7, so I'm going to have to find a work-around.
