[thelist] CSS: How to adjust line height in header tags?

[Sam-I-Am]

netscape does recognise padding and margins, but it sets them as
relative to the heading block -- which includes the extra line below. So
if you want less than that default, AFAIK you have to use a negative
margin.

Then in IE everything looks screwed up.
So you have to use 2 stylesheets. 
One fairly painless way is code your css the netscape way, then top your
style sheet with 
@import url(corrected_margins.css);
and correct the margins in corrected_margins.css (which netscape will
ignore).

NB: This tests out ok in IE4+ and NN4*, but I've not tested it in any
other browsers.
