Anchor <a> alignment off in IE8?

Question

We have three anchor tags. When all on one line they display correctly in IE8:

But when you separate the anchor tags onto separate lines for better code readability they do NOT appear correctly (there is a random extra "e" character and the alignment is off):

Any ideas?

Looks like the 'dulplicate characters bug', this is usually caused by white space or comments in your code. Long time since ive seen this, thought it was ironed out in ie7. Obviously not.

Think the only fix was to remove the white space or comments.
