Problem: List items containing links seemed to have inexplicable padding-bottom (or the links had margin-bottom) - yet they didn’t. There was just a space.

This is how it should have looked:

The solution: The solutions are always the simplest, yet always the hardest to find… Display the list item inline.

li {
display:inline;
}


Apparently this is due to the formatting you would normally do in your text editor. Another fix is to remove all formatting in your markup - but I feel this makes your code difficult to maintain. Better do the fix above.

Please note: This is not the double margin bug in internet explorer 6 - there was no margin/padding on the items.
