They are, quite obviously, blocks, and stacked on top of each other too, which is the normal block behavior. =) The example page, I see, doesn't use display:block and still uses <br>'s. Mozilla is behaving as I would expect: the links are put one after the other as they would normally be, and then they're given outlines around the text, which naturally overlaps with the adjacent ones since the text was already laid out without the outlines taken into account. That's how borders work for inline text. I haven't used Opera in ages, so I can't tell you what's wrong with that. I suspect that it's ignoring the display:block on anchor tags. A possible workaround would be to put <div>s around the <a>s, and make the <div>s have the outline instead of the <a>s. But that wouldn't be a great solution. (In fact, if you wanted to go that way, I would suggest using an <ul> with <li>s, since it is, after all, a list of links.) Loading...
