Okay, I spent a bunch of time looking into my issue displaying icons in a collapsable list and I've narrowed the issue down to a single question. http://www.softcircuits.net/test.aspx shows one line of text preceded by a span area with a yellow background. When I look at this page with IE8, the yellow area appears until I turn on compatibility mode, then it disappears. My question is: where does the <span> area go? (Note: I thought MS was going to make IE8 run in standards mode by default but it appears that, for me, compatibility mode is on by default. That means most people viewing my site are probably running IE8 in compatibility mode.) Thanks. Jonathan
Resolved: IE6/7 apparently don't want to format an empty <span>. However, inserting causes it to work correctly.
