I've opted for border-bottom. It's not ideal but it works.

hmm will try this out..
Do I need to spec "padding-bottom : 0px" or can I do "padding : 0 0 0 0
;" ? i.e is it the word padding-bottom that makes IE do the right thing?
Unfortunately no URL as the page is behind a firewall.
Thanks

Hi all
I'm beating my head against a wall about this one... IE 5.5 and 6 is
putting in some mystery whitespace (looks like about 8-10 pixels - "a
line") after a horizontal navigation list. This hor. list has a nested
list holding some text within it.
The UL tag is contained in a div - the bottom whitespace is in between
the bottom of the ul and the bottom of the div.
This occurs when I set the width of the list to a fixed value (% or
px). When I set to auto the issue disappears but then when I roll over
a link in the list () the content block (a div) below the list moves
down the page one line at a time!!! - no javascript involved :D
Has anyone seen or knows of a fix for this (I've tried everything I know.)
Cheers
James
