Mike, Christian is correct that, for IE to make the whole button
"clickable" it needs a dimension. If you don't want a 100% width
you can also give (IE Win only) a height, using the "star html hack"
and the "backslash comment hack" to hide it from IE Mac, viz:
/* for IE Win only \*/
* html #yournav a {height: 1em;}
/* stop hiding from Mac */
IE Win will (wrongly) increase the height if necessary.
Cordially,
David
