    Hello all!

    In my "other life", when I'm not working with the HierMenus dude, I design and develop web content
    for HP LaserJet Printers. Up until now, KHTML has been able to render the XHTML that I use to draw
    some of my tabs just fine with the exception of some minor z-index issues (described in bug
    43546).

    However, KHTML from current CVS has some more serious issues with this tabs. I've attached a quick
    XHTML test case.

    The basic problem seems to be that <a> tags with margins seem to be mucking around with the
    relative positioning of <img> elements surrounding them. In the test case, if you remove the
    margin-left and margin-right CSS rules from a.hpSelectedTabLabel, then the tab renders as it
    should - sans the margins of course.

    For what it's worth, I think Safari (pre 1.0) had this problem as well. Safari 1.0 did not have
    the problem, but I have no idea what they did to fix it.

    If someone could look at this, I would greatly appreciate it and perhaps even buy beer/soda/pizza
    for whomever fixes the problem. There are a *lot* of LaserJets out there with this code and I
    don't want their web pages to look goofy in Konqueror - especially since they used to work.

    Also, if there is anything else that I can do to help debug the problem, please let me know.

    Best regards,

    David
