Bingo! Padding... Thanks to all who responded. Patrick's solution fixed it, but this is a case where bugs brought out errors that although it passed validation, the code was a mess, and all were right who answered. A combination of errors, or perhaps better term would be messy, from poor work habits and being in a rush....
Bruce Prochnau Patrick Lauke Wrote: Don't ask me why (though I suspect it's because a is an inline element, so applying padding to the top/bottom is creating some confusion), but the culprit seems to be the padding applied to #sidebar a Change padding: 3px 0px; to just padding: 0; and the underline works properly again.
