IE: page height increase on hover

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I’ve been having some weird trouble with IE, where when you move the cursor over a link, the height of the page increases. The page shouldn’t grow in the first place, but, oddly, it never returns to its correct size. This can make the page really long if you do it a lot. Anyone know of a fix, or is it just a bug?

This only happens with the links at the top of the page.

Is it necessary to define declarations with default values?

cursor: pointer is the default for a link, it's not wrong, but unnecessary.

Define the font in body, then change it when necessary.

z-index:10 in #nav a, there can only be one z-index:10

Enough of my style gripes.

The solution: remove height: 100% from body
