I have a website that looks virtually identical in IE + Firefox.
But when you mouseover the text containing links in IE,
it "wiggles" and settles into place.

I vaguely remember that's an IE bug but I can't seem to find it via google.
Anyone know the fix offhand, it's driving me crazy.

Thanks for ANY help!

Can you give us some code? I'm curious to see what you mean by that.

haslayout perhaps?

try adding a width to the div containing the text or to the <p> "text" or the <li>, whatever element the links are contained in basically ;)

Suzy you are awesome!
That was exactly the issue.
I read up on haslayout() from this article:
[fumle.dk...]

and then added the css property zoom:1
to the container and viola, like magic the wiggle is gone.

Sheesh. IE. UGH.
Now to see what happens in IE7 with it.
