You didn’t think one posting about IE and inline-block was going to handle all the issues, did you? Did you? The issue I am going to talk about in this post is an oldy but a goody.
Display:inline-block is only supported in IE6 & 7 on elements that are natively inline. Say what?
You’ll find if you add that property to a block element, assuming your element will nicely shrinkwrap, you will be disappointed. The fix is to use display:inline;zoom:1;. Then you will get an element that acts like an inline block.
