display: inline-block;
The display
property with the value of inline-block
is not supported by Internet Explorer 6 and 7. A work-around for this is:
zoom: 1;
*display: inline;
The zoom
property triggers the hasLayout
feature of elements, and it is available only in Internet Explorer. The *display
makes sure that the invalid property executes only on the affected browsers. Other browsers will simply ignore the rule.
