Sunny, what Jon and I meant was to put the span at the end of the link like this:
<a class="external">The link<span class="extimage"></span></a> This will force the image to appear at the nend of the link. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of SunUp Sent: Thursday, 24 November 2005 12:53 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] :after, IE, and link text wrapping Thanks Jon ... It was suggested that I try <span>, which I did, but IE still displays the image at the end of the line, where the long link text wraps, instead of at the of whole link. I think I'll just hide it afterall, and IE users can (in the inimitable words of "Dad" in "The Castle") suffer in their jocks. thanks, sunny On 11/24/05, Jon Tan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > SunUp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >Is there a way to make it display the image at the END of the LINK, > >instead of at the end of the LINE? > >I've messed around w/ placement and padding etc. No joy. > > Hi Sunny > > Turning them off for IE has always been my answer.
