Hi, in my html, whenever I insert a hyperlink there is an automatic line break after it. Something in my css style sheet is causing this but I can't figure out what. Here is my css file:

#container {
width: 750px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
#header {
height: 150px;
width: 850px;
background-image: url();
}

#content {
width: 600px;
padding: 10px;
margin-right: 120px;
margin-left: 170px;
}
#leftnav {
float: left;
width: 500px;
height: 400px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
padding: 2px;

}

#leftnav ul
#{
# margin-left: 0;
# padding-left: 0;
# list-style-type: none;
# font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
# font-size: 12px;
#}

#leftnav a
{
display: block;
width: 150px;
padding-top: 1px;
padding-right: 3px;
padding-bottom: 1px;
padding-left: 3px;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
}

#leftnav a:link, .navlist a:visited
{
#color: #0000FF;
#text-decoration: underline;
font-weight: normal;
}

#leftnav a:visited
{
# color: #ffffff;
# text-decoration: underline;
# font-weight: bold;
}

#leftnav a:hover
{
# text-decoration: none;
# color: #D32222;
}

#sidebar {
#padding: 10px;
#float: right;
#width: 130px;
#background-color: #30D9F4;
#height: 390px;

}

#footer {
background-color: #157363;
padding: 2px;
width: 800px;
clear: both;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
}


h1 {

font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bolder;

line-height: 11pt;
margin-top: 3px;
margin-right: 0;

}

a:visited {

Hi

I am quite sure, not all links, only those inside #leftnav . Well, you set their [tt]display[/tt] to [tt]block[/tt] and that is the standard behavior of the [tt]block[/tt] elements.

( By the way, comments in CSS are delimited with [tt]/*[/tt]..[tt]*/[/tt] . )

Feherke.
 
Thanks, using the /* */ instead of # in the #leftnav ul section fixed the problem
