Hello

In a webpage where I float a div with a picture in it, I cannot get rid of
the 3px gap inserted by IE, even though I applied the "holly-hack".

http://www.rederei.ch/langlois/pages/kontakt.htm
http://www.rederei.ch/langlois/styles/neu.css

Interestingly enough, when I tried to test it on a quite simpler page
reproducing roughly the situation, the 3px gap does not appear.
http://www.rederei.ch/langlois/untitled.htm

Now I really cannot find out, where the difference between the two might be,
for crying out loud. Can anyone of you?

Thanks very much

Jörg

Looks fine to me. If there is an extra 3px in there then it really doesn't
matter.

I use IE6 and Opera7.54 at home and work.
I run WindowsXPpro(sp1) at work and WindowsME(fully patched) at home.
I patch both browsers as soon as updates are available.

The page looks fine on both browsers and operating systems.

Yes, it does matter to me! It looks ugly like hell.

Well, you see, in doing so, you are probably one of very few users. Most of
the rest of them don't even know about installing new browsers, let alone
patching. They just use the browsers the computer came with. So for all
these users I must hack around this IE-bug.

But it does not on a non-patched IE6 on XP with SP1. That is, the hack works
with the simplified test-file, while it doesn't with the actual page. So
that is what worries me.

Works fine here...

1st is from plain old IE6 like anyone runs. I run dialup so I install
minimum updates.

2nd is from Opera 7.2.3. No appreciable problem in rendering.

No, it obviously does *not*. See the 3px indent in the paragraphs on the
right side of the pictures? That's what I mean. And it does not occur an the
testfile, where I applied the same floats.

Yes, I know, it is no problem with Opera nor Firefox and the likes.

Thanks anyway
