[thelist] Little <img> tag problem

[Rodrigo Galindez]

Scott,
  Ok, I tried this, I changed to "vertical-align: text-bottom" for each
<img> in my CSS, but there is still a little little gap. The only solution
that worked, actually was to set "float: left;" to the images, and settting
a fixed width to the #content div, as Paul Bennett suggested.
   Thanks,

> I think what's causing this is a common issue with Mozilla. It doesn't do
things "wrong", just different. The gap you're seeing is space that's
reserved for the descenders in text. You know, the parts of the g and the j
and the p that drop below the baseline. IE places images on the absolute
bottom, so that descender space is hidden behind the image. Mozilla places
images on the baseline, so the descender space is visible as a few-pixel gap
underneath the image. You can fix it by setting vertical-align: text-bottom
on the <img> tag, or by setting font-size: 0 on the <p> tag your images are
in. Your images /are/ in a <p> tag, right? It's technically valid to put
inline content directly in a <div>, but for me it's always a best practice
to wrap everything in a <p>.
