Thanks for the tip, though! Well it’s fixed in Firefox 3, but that doesn’t help us poor schmucks who still have to support Firefox 2 indefinitely.

You do a display:table-cell followed by a display:inline-block. Firefox applies the display:table-cell but ignores the display:inline-block, whereas IE applies both, but since inline-block is placed after the table-cell, only the inline-block is functioning in IE. You can still apply width or heighth properties to a table-cell display element, which will be displayed inline. I agree that firefox does need to fix this inline-block thing, though!!

Here's hoping that the support (along with the fix for the stupid <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=187435" rel="nofollow">scrollbar bleed-through problem</a>) is in Firefox 3.

Odd, since FireFox is usually the good guy. If you've got an <code><h1></code> inside the element, it busts the element. To demonstrate drop: <code><h1>Blah</h1> <p></p> <img /> </code> into your element and watch the breaking. So even this "hack" has it's quirks. we need inline-block! It's so amazing.
