IE6 and IE7 will add the same space - when in "quirks mode". So it _is_ part of Microsoft's old IE/win-standard. IMO, you should not be too obsessed with details in any browser - old or new. It just has too "look just fine" in each browser you choose to support. Whether or not to "fix" things in older browser-versions depends largely on the following factors. 1: if a significant number is still in general use. 2: if the old ones can be "fixed" without disturbing new versions and other (better) browsers. 3: how much time you can, or want to, spend on older browsers. Myself: I tend to reduce support for older versions after a few years, *when* there are at least a couple of later (and hopefully improved) versions of that particular browser available. IE/win users have IE6 and IE7 available now, so IE5/win gets only the very minimum of my attention - if/when I have time for it. Having written all that ... the following CSS addition will probably fix IE5/win well enough for comfort, without disturbing later versions... * html ol#navlinks li {margin-bottom: -.5em;} regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
