Hi all,

I'm having a senior moment: I am putting together a horizontal button  
navigation and using a method that has worked many times before. This  
time, I am seeing a weird problem in IE6 (Safari and Firefox are both  
OK on Mac and Windows, and IE7 is fine too). Instead of displaying in  
a nicely spaced horizontal line each button has grown to the width of  
the parent element and showing as a vertical stack of such buttons.

Unfortunately I can't point you to a real page because this is an  
internal system.

Anyway, if anyone can help me through the mental block I'd be grateful.

Thanks,


Ian.
