strange layout issue

Paul Watt

Hi,
I've got a problem with a layout issue in FF. In IE everything displays
properly but in FF there's gaps in the layout and it driving me mental. i've
set margins and padding to 0 on everything.

Cheers

Add this to your CSS:

img{
display: block;
}

BTW, the text is a bit difficult to read on the background. I'm not
keen on the scroll bar.

And it breaks in IE5(.5), but I think I'm the only person who worries
about that now. :)

Add line-height:0px; to the .top, .left, and .right css classes.

Woah! Holy eye strain, batman. I guess the "problem" as you see it is
not the incredibly difficult-to-read choice of background image or white
text, huh? Plus, it's all in Latin[1]. No one speaks Latin so much
anymore, just thought you'd like to know.





[1]Joke. I've heard of "lorem ipsum". But I've always maintained that
jokes are funnier when they are explained, so consider this the
explanation.

Why such a rigid layout? When I expand to the full screen (1600x1200)
screen, there is just a small window for your picture, and an even
smaller window for the text therein, requiring internal scrolling which
I shouldn't need if the subwindow would just expand with the main window.

When I shrink it down (to 640x480 or so) so that I can do other work at
the same time, I need to scroll horizontally back and forth to read the
text, =and= I have to scroll vertically in my =browser= to reach the
bottom of the site, =AND= I have to scroll horizontally to reach the
internal scrollbar which I =ALSO= have to use to scroll the =text=.

And the text is hard to read against the busy background picture.

This persists as one of the darkest secrets of CSS.
<img> is an inline object that is treated like text so there is bottom
space allowed for a descender. This makes sense when there is text around
an image.
To remove the bottom space:
img { vertical-align: bottom; }

Yeah, I thought so. Unfortunately, I tried "vertical-align:baseline;"
instead of ...bottom. Duh!

Jokes ARE funnier when they're explained. You're a comedy genius! (That
came out sarcy. It's not.)

Hah! Baseline is the default value.

Yep. A brain-fart, pure and simple.
