padding squishes image in Opera 7

Hello all,

I made a nice frame around an image, using padding and border like
this:

<img style="padding: 5px; margin: 5px; border: 1px solid gray"
src="./stuff/gde.gif" alt="Gewerkscha ft der Eisenbahner" align="right"
border="0" width="201" height="43">

But Opera 7.2 squishes the image. I think it's because I've sized the
image properly and Opera is trying to squeeze the padding into the
space taken by the image.

Safari, Mozilla/Camino, MacMSIE5 and Opera 6 do not do this and it
comes across as being a bug or at least counterintuitiv e.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

The page is here and it validates:

Thanks!

Are not the 'border: solid 1px gray' and...
'border="0"' contradictory?
(and yes, I am asking, rather than being sarcastic)

I don't know either, but removing that part doesn't change anything in Opera 7.2.

Well I *think* you're getting bitten by the problem that it isn't always
very well defined how HTML and CSS cohabit. This use of the width and
height attributes is an exceptional case where you want to use HTML
attributes to define sizes, but I don't think it's clearly defined
whether they should then be used as the CSS width/height properties for
the box in question. Apparently Opera thinks so, and the other browsers
don't. Not actually a bug AFAICT.

Sticking a DIV around your image should get it working in all browsers.

The problem would make sense in the quirks mode where padding intrudes
width. Your page has a doctype that is supposed to activate the
standards mode, though.

Hello, I want to style an <a> element to have a special padding on "hover", like a {padding: 3px 5px 2px 4px;} a:hover {padding: 2px 4px 3px 5px;} No problem for Mozilla. Opera 7, however, behaves strangely and does not apply the background color to the padded area. And IE5 seems to ignore the hover-padding.

I continued on the example shown earlier today: http://gusgus.cn/test/index.html Now I get some unwanted space in Firefox (the red space just below the first image) which doesn't appear in IE6.

Hello, <http://www.asaom.edu> There are some curious spacing issues with the top bar (gray) and the main navigation bar. The most significant is how the nav bar looks in Opera v6 (win2k): the text portion is has extra space at the top that I cannot remove. As a result the text portion is pushed below the background bar by a few pixels. This does not occur in Mozilla/Firefox, or IE6. (I have ordered Opera v7.) Is this a known issue? The...

Hello, I am trying to open a window containing an image and I would like the image to be flush against the window -- i.e. have no padding or border. Can I make this happen with a single call to a window.open function? I would prefer not to create a separate HTML page. So far all I have is the basic var cwin = window.open('images/KJV-THANKS.gif', 'Thanks', 'width=243,height=420,'); cwin.focus();

Hello, In my (seemingly) endless quest to understand CSS, I have yet another problem. Please look at http://www.kidsinaction.org.uk/ph/x.html in Opera, where you will see it how I expected. If you look at it in IE (6 or 7), you find it also looks fine, except for the top margin missing from the links across the top of the page. That's not the main issue here, but any pointers as to why it doesn't show them would be appreciated.
