If you want to cater to IE make your lists like this:

<ul><li
<a somelink>Foo</a></li
<li><a someotherlink>Bar</a></li
</ul>

and be sure nothing, including line breaks comes between </a> and </li>.

You've *got* to be kidding me.

<tries it>

L I B. That "fixes" it, all right. Unbelievable, that browser. I thought
that html was supposed to /ignore/ whitespace. (?)

It is, but since when did Micro$oft play by the rules?

Many, many thanks, Lars. :-)
