Problem with IE when using display:block for links

Question

This is my HTML:

  Link 1
  Link 2
  Link 3
  <         


        
      

Answer 1

Ok, the fix for this problem is to give the anchors a background property other than transparent. Some proposed to give the anchors a transparent background image. I have an addition to this: The image does not have to exist. You can simply write any path and it will make it work:

a {
  background:url('dummy/doesnotexist.png') no-repeat;
}
