tripping hasLayout - display:block after display:inline-block;

hasLayout reset

[vsgill]

Hello Friends
I am having problem setting haslayout for ie on an <a> tag.

If i display:inline-block; to the anchor is works...
but i want to reset the display to "block" after the haslayout is set to true.

so i do the following

div.advert a{
display:inline-block;
display:block;
}

but it does not set the haslayout to true.

if i do this

div.advert a{
display:inline-block;
}

its works.... but i want to set the display back to "block"

i thought once the haslayout is set to true it can not be set to false. so the above solution should work?.... but it doesn't..

Has anyone else had this problem before?

Thanks
Vik

Hi vik.. the "tripswitch" only works if the rules are given separately

so:

div.advert a{
display:inline-block;
display:block;
} 

needs written like:

div.advert a{
display:inline-block;
}

div.advert a{
display:block;
}

Oh and afaik, inline-block is the only hasLayout property that works to "reset"
