Does anyone have any other way, a better way, of dealing with this?
If not I will have to create that alternative for all uses of this.
Well, it is just an idea...
I tested with the map-image as ordinary img-element styled as "removed
float" inside that ul - above the li's.
Test-style:
img#map {float: right;
margin: 0 0 -250px -350px;}
Such a "removed float" takes up no space, so the spacing within the ul
is unchanged. Same as if the image were absolute positioned.
That took care of the 'ignore colors' problem in IE/win, and it looked
just as the original in all other scenarios.
Too many styles to go through though - and I didn't change any of yours,
so the links would only work properly in Firefox during this brief test.
What came to mind is that such an image-element can hide the <strong>
part of the link-text. Since the links should be stacked on top of the
image, and the text stay behind the image in the same position, the
links should be understandable and usable even in a 'CSS on/images off'
scenario.
A bit back and forth - and probably some cross-browser problems, but I
think it is possible to cover most scenarios with one solution.
