If you manage to login to my site (highly recommended!) and check out my list application, you'll see that I'm using html's ul and li tags to build my lists (well, gee!). I found a weird MSIE bug where if you use CSS and designate the list as being inline, then you potentially might get some overflow problem (looks terrible especially if you use floats). Firefox is pretty much smarter than MSIE, so you don't face this problem. To fix this issue, you need to add a space before the closing li tag. That's it! Then MSIE will know how to wrap the list correctly. I labored for a few days over this bug. Fortunately, I stumbled upon the page linked at the bottom. So credit due to this guy for saving my rear!
