[thelist] A List using display: block adds padding in IE?

[Justin Zachan Mgmt]

Well I had set all the padding and margins to 0.

But I have just found a solution of sorts - I placed a width in the css
below and suddenly the padding disappeared...

So thanks but too sure why I have had success.

Cheers

Justin

Hi Justin, 

Are you sure it's padding that IE is putting in there?  Try setting
margin:0px; too, IE uses a default margin setting while NN/FF use
padding, so they both need to be set explicitly to get reliable results.
