Hi All,
I have a simple style sheet example below and I'm seeing different
results in IE 6 vs. Firefox 1.0.3. I'm not sure which browser is
rendering it correctly but I'm tending to think it's IE. In the code
below you will see two styled <p> elements within the <body> element.
There are two aspects of the rendering I wanted to ask about.
First, notice that Firefox simply ignores the "width:500px" rule
whereas IE honors it. Why is that? Is IE correct or is Firefox? If you
change the "display:inline" to "display:block" Firefox *will* honor the
width.
Now, if you changed "display:inline" to "display:block", please change
it back to "display:inline" before reading the next question.
The second point I wanted to ask about is the way Firefox chops off the
upper border. Why is that?
Thanks very much, I appreciate any helpful replies.
