Because I still get the white line, in both FF and IE

It's supposed to work around my problem. Which didn't really work because
even with this ugly hack IE7 renders it as IE6 did without it.

> You still haven't specified what you originally saw as the problem.
Well, check the image at http://www.xs4all.nl/~tba/test.html
The top image is what I want.
The bottom image is what IE does.
Notice the extra vertical space marked with a red bracket. I want to get rid
of it.

> If you set all margins and paddings for ul and li elements zero
.... then IE still has the ugly white line

I just want the sublist to start on the SAME line as the parent list and not
on the NEXT line.
Which I can do by using <UL> <UL> ... </UL> </UL> instead of <UL> <LI> <UL>
.... </UL> </LI> </UL> but -- according to the W3C validator -- that would
break the HTML 4.01 standard.

Kind regards

Michael.
