Background image problems inside relative container

<A> elements with a background image have a problem. It is in effect (as far as I can see):

Bug fix: The element must get position:relative, which creates problems for IE5.0, as it then ignores padding-left on the element.

Test page Workaround is included

This bug appears even when element is not on 'display:block;' I can't remember the link / page where i read about this, but it seems that ie always trys to center bg-images. so you need to set it's bg-position top left.

Every list item that had a link in it wasnt showing the list's background image. Now it does.

Cool - So, I added position: relative to my css li declaration and it works.
