[thelist] CSS, H1 and Netscape

[Joshua OIson]

This response is not comprehensive by any means, but hopefully it does
answer some of your question.

Navigator handles line-height in a very odd manner in general, thus making
it difficult to change the spacing around h1, et al.  If you do manually
adjust line height, then text after images will only be spaced down that
amount from the top of an image, even if the image is taller than the
spacing.  You often, as a result, get overlap.  A common method for
circumventing Navigator's deficiencies with H tags to not use then and
assign similar classes to the table cells, or spans, or whatever.  Thus:

<span class="h1">My title</span><br />

Or something along that line.  Again, though, be careful when assigning the
classes to table cells if you have manually set line-height.

Hope that helps.
