IE7 spacing issue

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 02.2008

Can anyone help me understand why IE7 is adding extra space onto second level menu items on this page, [URL=”http://www2.ccboe.com/piccowaxen/”]http://www2.ccboe.com/piccowaxen/[/URL]

I’ve gone through just about all of the CSS I can and have not been able to find the problem. I’m assuming it’s conflicting CSS because I have a menu CSS document but also a CSS document for the positioning of that menu. Not sure if anyone will be able to help me out or not, but I thought I’d give it a shot!

</ul></div></div>[B][SIZE="4"]</p>[/SIZE][/B][/QUOTE] Why is this whole thing wrapped in a paragraph tag?

This is a overly-complicated navigation imo. It appears that there is "line-height" being invoked, line-height is associated with "<p>" text, and this whole thing is, according to this code, [I]text[/I]. That may work but...

You could first try "line-height:0.9em;" to this opening "<p>" and see if this 'shrinks' the height of the textual spacing... It may also shrink the height of the "<li>" if they are not explicitly-stated. Adding "display:block;" to the "<a>"s inside of "<li>" will make the whole area 'clickable', if this issue comes up.

I am still digesting this... like I said, -overly complex.. :p

Success!
