Re: inline-block positioning

Thanks a lot, Boris.

IE does support inline-block but only for "naturally" inline elements like
span, strong, em, etc. It shows completely different picture for 
display:inline
Opera also interprets inline-blocks. But (my guess) it has vertical 
alignment problems.

Here are screenshots:

Question still remains: what is better?

| Gecko has no inline-block support.  Last I checked, neither does IE/Win 
6.0.
