It behaves as I expect in Mozilla and Opera, but there are two glaring differences in IE (5.5):
1) The anchors go all the way across the page.
2) When you move the mouse over the lower anchors, the margins on the higher anchors disappear!
I know that these two problems are caused by setting the height style on the anchors. If I remove the height style, then the page in IE looks and behaves just as it does in Mozilla and Opera. The question is: why would setting the
height style cause those two problems in IE?Why not give the division a width; you should find that solves the issue the second part is down to some form of M$ Explorer bug.You might also be interested in this technique: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/">http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/</a><!-- m -->
