I'm unable to remove the gap between the list items in IE7.
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="base.css" />
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li>
<div>row 1.1</div>
<div>row 1.2</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>row 2.1</div>
<div>row 2.2</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>row 3.1</div>
<div>row 3.2</div>
</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
ul
{
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
li
{
list-style-type: none;
width: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
border-left: 1px solid black;
border-right: 1px solid black;
}
li:first-child
{
border-top: 1px solid black;
}
li div
{
float: left;
width: 49.9%;
}
IE is really not the problem here.
What happens is you actually have a text node containing "\n\t\t\t" between each of your list items, and since those aren't unbreakable spaces IE interprets them as one " ", which is what you see.
Most of the time problems with IE are caused by the fact that it follows the specification, and people ... don't.
Also:
float the
li
toothis will fix IE7 (it's a known issue in IE7) but it will also get other browsers to contain the child floats at the same time - (which they weren't doing)
