Hi Shawn,
wanted to say thank you for your suggestions.

I did not notice your message until you sent it to my individual mail box.

What you suggested worked perfectly well. It is not the solution I've
eventually adopted, this due to the adding of a tooltip incompatible
with absolute positioning of the "works" link. If you wish, check the
code at:

http://www.giuseppecraparottacv.co.uk/work-web-test-works-absolute.html

Please note that the code still has to be cleaned and redundant
properties are not been yet removed. The design looks really ugly being
that incompleted.

What's interesting is go through the problem-solving process leading to 
the solution you provided:

This was the initial situation:

Having added width:100% to the "odd" and "even" lis in order to 
absolutely position the "works" links in IE6 properly, increasing the 
page size implied the appearance of phantom gaps - as you defined them 
:-) - in IE6 and 7.
Too bad...

As a fix, you suggested to float the lis to the left.

Now I have few questions, maybe you have some time to help me to "freeze 
this experience into everlasting Knowledge" (wow...)

Being the width of the ul defined, floating the lis doesn't have the 
standard function to put the lis side by side but instead of simulating 
a kind of IE-dedicated "glue effect" sticking the lis together no matter 
the size of the page.

Would you approve this reasoning? Wanna add something to the rationale?

Could what I've experienced be appropriately defined as a IE bug? Is 
there some logic behind this IE behaviour, or is it just a manifestation 
of IE non-sense? Any mistake from my side?

Thank you very much Shawn,
Giuseppe
