I use some DIV to create blocks with data inside.
I’ve set them to “inline-block” because I want the div to adjust his width to the content.

IE8 adjust his width to my content but I have a weird problem.

If you go to this fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/GvMW8/ and click to the first or second link, you can see that divs are overlapping.

If you go to this fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/hhpRP/1/ and do the same operation, it works!

The only difference between these two fiddles are the ‘id’ attribute of the main divs.

I don’t understand why I have this problem, but can you tell me how to make it works with the inline-block display AND a div id?

Thanks for your help!

    Looks like a little IE8 bug.

    Check out http://jsfiddle.net/willemvb/fjqUc/

    I added an extra class for the div around bigBlock and made it display: inline-block.
    I also shortened your javascript.

    This seemed enough to make IE8 listen 🙂
