From time to time you may need you use basic HTML in your blog, forum or Content Management System (CMS). HTML consists of tags that go before and after the bit of text you want to effect. Here’s a few basic bits of HTML to help you out:
<strong>This text is bold</strong>
<em>This text is italic</em>
<a href="http://www.website.com" >This text is a link to website.com</a>
<a href="http://www.website.com" target="_blank" >This text is a link to website.com</a>
Recently I stumbled across the annoying IE/Win bug of gaps between vertically stacked list items.
After searching around for a while I found a fair few fixes. However, none of these seemed to work for me. The only different I could find was that my list contained images where the other examples were purely text.
I fixed the bug by chance whilst implementing a fix by John Serris at www.phonophunk.com.
It turned out that when using the “vertical-align: bottom” fix applied to the list item tag, I also needed to apply it to the ‘a’ and ‘img’ tags as well:
#navsec a, #navsec img { vertical-align:bottom; }
