    Default CSS Help Small Discrepancy in IE8 Compatibility Mode v's FF et al.

    I hate IE!! I can't seem to figure this one out at all. If you look on www.limelites.co.uk at the categories menu on the left under "Womenswear by Size:" you'll see two columns from UK 6 through to UK 20.

    These display perfectly in IE8, FF, Chrome, Safari and Opera... however in IE8 compatibility mode the line spacing is much smaller on the right column than the line spacing on the left column....

    I've been messing with IE developer tool (F12) but for the life of me I cannot solve this!!

    Can anyone please take a look and see if you can determine what's causing this weird line spacing?

    Sorry, but I don't see any difference between IE8, and IE7 (compatibility mode).

    OK, you're talking about a very minor difference in display.

    If you don't mind a personal opinion, no customer will:

    1) View your site with more than one browser, other than you.

    2) No one will care, if they do.

    I would suggest you spend your time on more important things.

    Just my $.02 worth.

    I have to agree with stevesh on this one, only you (and couple of us around here) are ever going to look at the site in two browsers to compare. If you hadn't pointed it out I'm not sure I ever would have noticed.

    I'm not talking about people viewing the site to 'compare', I'm talking about people viewing the site in IE7.

    The point is, there's a line spacing issue that's noticeable in IE7 and I'm sure it'd be better if it were fixed rather than just left alone in the hope that no one notices..... right?
