Hi all,

My problems are actually two different but related ones:

My original problem is that I'm trying to make a simple menu for a site out of an unordered list and some links. It looks right in compliant browsers, but in IE, the vertical padding on my links doesn't take at all.

You can see an example of what I mean here, check the difference between a compliant browser and IE: http://www.nassau.se/inspectit

And of course, the requisite code:

#wrapper #head #menuBar {
	background:white;
	width:678px;
	position:absolute;
	bottom:47px;
	z-index:1;
	min-height:26px;
}
#wrapper #head #menuBar ul {
	margin-left:105px;
	margin-top:6px;
}
#wrapper #head #menuBar ul li {
	display:inline;
	float:left;
}
#wrapper #head #menuBar ul li a:link {
	display:block;
	padding:6px 7px;
	color:black;
	text-decoration:none;	
}
#wrapper #head #menuBar ul li a:visited {
	color:black;
	text-decoration:none;
	padding:6px 7px;
}
#wrapper #head #menuBar ul li a:hover {
	color:white;
	background:#666666;	
	padding:6px 7px;
}
#wrapper #head #menuBar ul li a:active {
	color:white;
	text-decoration:none;
	padding:6px 7px;
}

A related issue I'm having is that I've made a copy of the above code and placed it in a stylesheet inside a conditional comment, but I've found that only some of the changes I make to that stylesheet take, such as changing the background color of #menuBar, while trying to change the padding of the same has no effect.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

I cant comment on the conditional statement other than it may not be set up right or something but the link you posted looks identical in IE and FF.

Does it?
The problem I'm having on my end is that when you mouse over the menu (the white bar in the upper part of the page) the background on the links doesn't cover the whole height of the menu bar in IE (I can only check this with IE7, unfortunately), whereas it does in FF/Chrome. What version of IE do you happen to be using, and is the background not working properly in both IE and FF, then?
