Thank you Holly! That seemed to do the trick (and was driving me crazy).
A couple of questions:
I realize that it was causing me problems in this example, but is it
always the case that a block level element cannot (should not) be contained
in an inline element?
Could you be more specific about the competing selectors that you are
referring to? - I'm not sure I understand.
Thanks again,
Scott
