from what i understand, one newbie to another, is that you can *either* float or display, but both don't happen at the same time (unless you consult with IE). if you float, it means that "display" is effectively ignored by standards-comliant browsers.
floating means that the <li> no longer has a real height or width. displaying them inline keeps kind of their same basic characteristics, but they are no longer "block" and therefor don't take up 100% width. someone please correct me if i'm wrong, but IE will still pay attention to "display" if the <li> is floated, and people use this to get that browser to display better using "display: inline-block". <big breath> ok hopefully i got that right! ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
