Eike, that's very interesting. It will only work in quirks mode rendering, and it will prevent the link to wrap at all. In standards mode, meaning with a correct Doctype, "width" or "height" will not apply to inline level elements like A. The basic effect of applying this height is to apply "layout". In standards mode, this can be achieved with adding the proprietary property "zoom:1;", this will work in IE7 too. Anyway, giving "layout" to an inline level element causes it to behave more like inline-block, and in consequence, it will not wrap. But clearly, this information is missing in my writing; I will add it soon, thanks. See for further notes on "layout" our article [1].
