I have a horizontal list of color swatches, and each list item has the following markup:
<li class="ws-filter">
<a class="ws-swatch-link" title="Black" href="#">
<div title="Black" class="ws-filter-swatch" style="background-color: #000000;"></div>
</a>
</li>
However, a selected color swatch has the following markup (no anchor tag):
<li class="ws-filter ws-selected">
<div title="Silver" class="ws-filter-swatch" style="background-color: #c0c0c0;"></div>
</li>
Here's the CSS:
.ws-filter-list .ws-filter {
display: inline-block;
}
.ws-filter-swatch {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
border: 1px solid #dcdcdc;
margin: 2px;
}
And here's the JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/nHk27/2/
This works just fine in most browsers, and looks like the following:
However, in IE8, the selected swatch pops out of line, like this:
This is a project I'm working on, and I can't change the markup. I've tried experimenting with changing the display of the div, anchor and list item in different combinations. I'm pretty sure I could get it to work using float, but is there any way to fix this without using float?

I have a strong hunch IE8's default puts the content up on top.
