The best way to fix this issue is stylizing the tags like this:

sup {
vertical-align: baseline;
font-size: 0.8em;
position: relative;
top: -0.4em;
}

I’m passing this over to you guys because of all the headache and frustration it caused me in IE7.

I had created and customized master pages and user controls in .Net applications using Visual Studio. I was feeling right at home when I opened my first MOSS site in SharePoint Designer. I found I could designate my own custom master page to control the layout of pages of my lists and libraries. I could also designate another master page to control the layout of content pages. I had this thought that I could control the look and feel of every page in a MOSS site right from the SharePoint Designer environment. I would switch between SP Designer and IE explorer to make sure my custom SharePoint site was not breaking in the process of the customization. Finally, after testing the home page for errors, I was happy with the new custom look and feel.

How to Customize the ‘/_layouts’ Application.master Master Page

I started browsing my new customized site and noticed all system pages under the “/_layouts” folder were using the out of the box look and feel! Frustration started to kick in and I could not figure out why those pages were sticking to their old interface. I began to Google in hopes that someone out there had figured out a solution to this.

I found this:

http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/01/08/one-master-to-rule-them-all-two-actually.aspx

It uses HttpModules to intercept the default Application.master master page and replaces it with custom Application.master master page. The steps are real easy to follow and quick to implement.
