asp:label degenerates into CSS validator error inline-block is not a display value : inline-block

The W3C CSS Validator doesn’t like the way ASP.Net 2.0 renders the asp:label control.

‹asp:Label ID=”lblSep” runat=”server” CssClass=”datalist” Height=”20px” /›

renders as:

‹span id=”ctl00_rightcontent1_DataList1_ctl01_lblSep” class=”datalist” style=”display:inline-block;height:20px;”›‹/span›

The problem is that display:inline-block is valid in CSS 3.0 but not CSS 2.0.

Note that the framework did not apply the CssClass datalist override:

display
{
display:inline;
display:block;
}

Answer? Let’s call it a workaround:
‹label style=”height:20px;”/›
