I was trying to display a menu I created with a listing correctly in IE for about 1.5h googling myself to death and trying about every hack, until I found out that:
Yes, the fix was indeed simple, I was just quering for the wrong keywords for too long... Thank you, IE!
This is called the IE Whitespace-in-Lists Bug, and it's a result of placing a block level anchor in the list item. The simple fix is to set the <li> to display:inline. This cures the bug without any side effects in compliant browsers.
This basically means that if you have something like:
<ul> <li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 3</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 4</a></li> </ul>and define
a { display: block; } IE will create an extra new line between each listing.Yes, the fix was indeed simple, I was just quering for the wrong keywords for too long... Thank you, IE!
