Thank you for your suggestion, it seems to be working: http://datagnostics.com/test/IE7testzoom.html I don't like using "zoom" to give layout, because I'd rather use something that validates, but I decided it wasn't worth the extra hassle for this particular client's case. Meanwhile, I've been reading "On Having Layout" http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html trying to internalize your zen-like "The Hand We've Been Dealt" attitude. You write: > Another common problem with lists in IE occurs when the content of any li is > an anchor with display: block. . . .

By "anchors", do you mean named HTML anchors? e.g. '<a href="#name">name</a>'? Why anchors only, and not links in general?
