Strange <a> CSS Property - 7/24/2007 13:34:14
Hey all. I've stumbled across a really peculiar "feature" that I'm not sure why it is happening. It's causing a link tag to be extended by a space. As it would if the link were <a href="#">Text </a> when the link is definitely <a href="#">Text</a>.

Is it fed by a DB that might be 'padding' it? It kinda' looks like it may be DB results.
I know *some* developers (not me of course) use a space by default in their DB results just to preserve table formatting when there are no results, to avoid Nulls, and things like that.

It's actually fed via Facebook FBML which I have no control over. I managed to sort it with a margin-right: -5px; although this was quite hacky!
