Hi Ulf again,
You’re right, the links shouldn’t take up any space at all. That phrase and the possibility of “crappy input” by my editor made me think again and led me to the solution:
There were no characters between the tags, no block elements, no CSS-margins – and no crappy input! ??
But, to make the code easier for me to read and to change, I had put every link on a new row – THAT was the problem. All links in a row = no problem!
Thank you very, very much for your quick response!
