I just ran into the same problem when using a filter on links. Here is a simple test case: http://tjkdesign.com/lab/link_and_ie-filter.asp So the span in the markup is not really the problem. As Bill mentioned earlier, this bug has to do with *hasLayout*. Thanks for the heads up as I'm sure I ran into this before, but never noticed the issue. -- Regards, Thierry | http://www.TJKDesign.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
