No. :-) 1: delete the IE-only styles - it's the wrong approach. 2: add a 'hasLayout'[1] trigger to the anchor, as IE7 and older don't recognize 'display: block' on its own, and _that_ is causing the problem. Adding... .navlist li a {height: 1%;} ...will do the trick. If you want to fine-tune the line-up a little further across browser-land, you can add... .navlist li {margin-bottom: -1px; position: relative;} ...which will cover up for IE7' calculation errors and IE6' unstable border. regards Georg [1]http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
