CSS “display: inline-block” in IE7

The CSS property “display: inline-block” only works in IE7 when it is applied to selectors that are displayed natively inline. For example, if you have an <h tag that needs to display as an inline-block you need to wrap the text with a span. This should be done with the span inside the h tag because valid XHTML doesn’t allow native block elements to reside inside native inline elements; e.g.

<h1><span class=”ie-block”>My Inline Headline</span></h1>

This is all over the Internet in various forms. There are many more complicated examples of using inline-blocks in IE. Just thought I’d post this simple note about it.
