I'm not Gerd, but I stayed up till 3 AM one night trying to figure
out why Netscape put line breaks between my links, which should have
been on a single line. One thing finally solved the problem:
specifying background-color with my colors.
But, of course, that was Netscape.
And there were nested divs involved, also.
But since then, I add background-color when I have color.
