If you’re using inline-block on elements that are inline by nature (a, span, etc.), IE7 will not recognize your inline-block. Simply use this IN ADDITION to your CSS to make it work.
Important Note: This solution REQUIRES jQuery 1.6 or better due to the addition of the :focus selector! Here is how I used it for a form in a jQuery UI dialog:
