Yes, I did see this...thanks so much for sending it along! It's funny, I checked the archives and actually sent my message before this one appeared, and for some strange reason my message didn't appear until about 6 hours after I posted it.
I also noticed that even wikipedia was having problems with this, and since our site is pretty big, we decided to just hide the offsite icons from all versions of IE. I noticed that in IE 7 on your site (http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/nederdev/test-link-icon6.htm) the last word which has the <ul> tags around it appears slightly lower than the rest of the link text preceding it. Is this another IE bug? It doesn't happen in Firefox. I'm wondering if using the span tag would solve this problem? -----Original Message----- From: francky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2007 8:11 PM To: Allison Bloodworth Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [css-d] Background-image at end of <a> link not displaying properly when there's a line break in IE Allison Bloodworth wrote: > Hi, > > I am having a problem where a background-image at end of an <a> link is not > displaying properly in IE when it contains a line break.

News site. :-) ) I didn't remark this question before, but probably you have seen the POOF! thread in the meantime: * POOF! start here <http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/85416> * and the updated workaround here <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-link-iconENupdate. htm> Success and greetings! francky btw: As you can see in the right column halfway down in the Dutch version <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/nederdev/test-link-icon6.htm>, IE is normally placing the icons somewhere in the vertical middle of the amount of lines which the link is taking... - In Wikipedia is is going wrong in IE too, but mostly you don't see it because the links are only 1 or 2 words, and the probability of breaking in 2 lines is not so big then. - Example of things going wrong in IE is also the small link column in: * http://www.spip.net/en ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
