Please take a look at this page:
http://home.comcast.net/~delerious1/index5.html

It behaves as I expect in Mozilla and Opera, but there are two glaring differences in IE (5.5):

1) The anchors go all the way across the page.

2) When you move the mouse over the lower anchors, the margins on the higher anchors disappear!

I know that these two problems are caused by setting the height style on the anchors. If I remove the height style, then the page in IE looks and behaves just as it does in Mozilla and Opera. The question is: why would setting the
height style cause those two problems in IE?

Why not give the division a width; you should find that solves the issue the second part is down to some form of M$ Explorer bug.
