The main purpose of this post was to offer the icon for download, and people can use it in whatever way they see fit. The CSS I've used shows how <em>I</em> would go about it, but of course there is more than one way to skin a cat (so to speak!). @James – Yeah, paragraph or div will make no difference, other than semantically.

It's a good solution though - and the end result is stable enough to withstand being applied to other elements? (Like Paragraphs instead of Divs) @Jonathan, Well, you’ve got me stumped there.

The proprietary <code>-moz-inline-box</code> property does what we want for Firefox, but I discovered it doesn't support <code>text-decoration</code> on links, which in the case of styling an <code><a></code> tag makes it useless. So... at this stage I think the CSS I'm using is probably the best we will get in terms of cross browser compatibility and usability. I agree that it would be cleaner to have the class applied directly to the <code><a></code>, but I don't see how it can be made to work without side effects. Any suggestions are welcome.

I don't think you need inline-block in all cases though. @Jonathan, re IE6, I guess I am hoping that IE6 usage will rapidly decline ;-)
