Here is the code i'm working on it's not a page it's a treasure hunt for what might be re-used in a page, I ran into this problem last week or so and I'm asking myself what the heck is this margin for a while here
Let's picture that I can't use the float:left; tag for a reason, when I use display:inline-block; a weird margin apears on the elements (say divs) how do I fix it?
Problem is on FF3, and IE8 never tested in other browsers but if it dos not work on these what will it work on?

Solved: solution is eliminate the spacing in the markup:
