Safari ignores width:0 on anchor element

Question

Look at this fiddle in any browser other than Safari. You should see 3 red blocks next to each other with a margin of 5 pixels to the right of each block.

If you look at the same fiddle in Safari and you see much more spacing between the blocks. It seems the width of the text nodes are included (try removing overflow: hidden).

Strangely I couldn't find anything about this anywhere.

Does anyone know how to fix this so the blocks look the same in Safari as any other browser?

Answer 1

Try font-size: 0px to get it looking the same in Safari.
