IE8 Rendering problem (my bug or theirs?)
-
I'm having a problem with IE8 rendering link tags in a way that breaks my layout. It only occurs in standards mode, and doesn't seem to show up in any other browsers. http://www.contractsolutions.co.uk/test.htm[^] (No real content here, just a simple layout test - you need to specifically enable standards mode) Can anyone see why this layout breaks? Been looking at this too long to be able to see what's there... thanks

Well I figured out what causes the breaking layout. There's a self closing link tag in there with just an ID. This can be used eg. to link to a certain point within a page. It validates fine. Placing a link like that into the page seems to make all the other links render strangely. Swapping it with an empty tag avoids the problem. I'm pretty sure this is a beta bug - I've sent it to the newsgroup. Shrug.
