[thelist] CSS, H1 and Netscape

[Erika Meyer]

There is a specific NN CSS problem that I hate, and that is NN's 
refusal to deal properly with padding underneath the header.  There 
is always extra padding underneath an h# tag on NN.  So it adds 
unwanted vertical space to your layout and makes it look funky.

For my own websites, I just say, "that's NN for you, too bad for NN," 
because I can still make it look okay, and at least it's degradable 
and accessible. (The default size of h1 on most browsers is another 
story...)

But when I build for Clients Who Don't Give a Crap About Accessiblity 
(CWDGCAA) I end up using a "strong" with a class applied so I can get 
the padding all perfect-looking.

Or, more likely.  heh.  a gif + alt tet.
