It's only 2px but it's driving me nuts

Hello experts

IE 7.0.5730.11
Opera 9.27
Firefox 2.0.0.14

This problem only occurs in Opera and Firefox (amazing, IE does
something right, or maybe not)

Anyway, the problem is that when I put an image in a <divor a <td>
both Opera and Firefox always put 2px padding under the image

I can move the image down by doing this
style='position :relative; bottom: -2px;'
But then the gap is at the top.

If I'm using a table then of course I have cellpadding=0 and cellspacing=0

I'm sure this never used to be the case, it's driving me nuts
is it me, or is the world turning differently these days.

Any ideas how to get rid of this annoying gap

TIA

Don't fix the symptom.

Set display: block or vertical-align: bottom on the img.

The gap is supposed to be there because the img is baseline aligned by
default, so it sits on the baseline like a letter, with a bit of space
below it for descenders.

OK display:block works, thanks

Shame, I don't really like dissing IE it's so ... 'yesterday'.
Thought I'd found something it did right ... ah well, the world still
turns the same I guess.

Thanks again

And Safari and more... though it is not really a "problem" as Ben
indicates, it is what is supposed to happen...

Yes. If OP wants text to go on simply on the same line, the vertical
align route sounds best. But hard to say without a url from the op.

Anyway, why am I chorusing on here? To supply an illustration:

Hi The god that is Martin Honnen gave me a great tip to DOM/JS some HTML data into an iframe, but I need to make sure that the iframe is ready to take it before I paste it in. At the moment, if I don't specifically click into the iFrame (it is in design mode) then when I paste the HTML it attaches itself to the main document rather than in the iframe 'body'.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
