I simply meant the way I used "display: inline;" in the the css
and the associated markup in the html. Was wondering if there was
something about the way I made the list go in a horizontal line
rather than vertically (as perhaps more traditional for <ul>s)
that caused the puzzling white space above and below - besides my
not putting "margin:0"

That's ok, Stan. As I said, margin:0 fixes the practical problem.
But I am not a purely practical person (though I do use a
chainsaw now and again). About browsers, I can only repeat that
the modern ones are rather consistent about the phenomena
puzzling me. And that IE Mac was the only one that actually
showed a bit of the diagnostic background green I put in. (To be
quite frank, I have not tested all browsers...)
I don't suppose anyone at all has been able to see the pale green
background with any Windows browsers? It looks like this in IE
Mac: http://dorayme.150m.com/test1/listPuzzler.png
This is the effect that http://dorayme.150m.com/test1/main.html
has on Mac IE
Is there any chance that everyone at alt.html could take the day
off and all work solidly on this for me? Where the blazes is my
mate Mark Parnell? Does he think he can just swan off somewhere
on hols or something without keeping in touch? Just because I did?
Is a "layer" thing going on re the phenemena I see (the green
showing up above but not below the strip of horiz. links?). You
know, that creepy stuff about z indices?
