[css-d] Doctype problem

2009-03-06 Thread Russ Kirby
Hello,

I'm currently building a website to go into an ecommerce package but 
have run into a snag as I originally coded the layout into an XHTML 
doctype and the ecommerce package has an HTML doctype. This meant that 
although everything rendered perfectly in each browser when I had 
initially coded it since putting into the HTML doctype page some bits of 
the design have broken. Although I have now corrected most of it there 
is still one problem I can't seem to fix and here it is:

I have a side navigation column that is a normal verticle list of links. 
when I give the link a display: block; rule I seem to get an extra 
bottom margin of 15px. The only browsers that seem to display properly 
are Opera and Safari?

Has anyone experienced this before or know how to get round this problem?

Many thanks.

Since you didn't provide a demo link, I could only guess you are
having  elements separating the -s of the navigation. The
breaks should be the cause of the unexpected margin. If you don't have
access to the menu code to delete them, you can hide them through css
like this:

#navigation br {
 display:none;
}
