    Well if you do Float lets say right in CSS for links the links well float to the right and appear as link,link,link but in IE it isn't the are listed like

    link
    link

    Maybe add display:block to them, a test case online would be helpful, this can be a result of an overwriting style, defined earlier.

    My IE8 (quirks & other modes) somehow shows links in a line.

    <html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.links{
  float:right;
}

</style>
</head>

<body>
<a href="#" class="links">link1</a>
<a href="#" class="links">link2</a>
<a href="#" class="links">link3</a>
</body>
</html>
    HTML:

    Stick all the links inside a div? I'm not sure, and I can't play around with it without having some files to work with =P

    dvncfll01, you need to show us some code. How the heck are we supposed to guess what you did? What if the problem is some easy-to-spot error?

    As far as I know you can float links in IE no problem. I can think of one big bug in IE6 where if the li's were floated with no set width and the anchors were set to display: block, IE6 (and only IE6) will make the anchors 100% wide, which would stop them from stacking like you see in other browsers.

    So, post code, and we can solve this. It should be pretty easy. But we're not psychic. We need the code.
