Firefox extra bit of space

[philleep]

hey,

my site that i'm developing basically has div's. a wrapper and container div to add the side decoration and within this i look like this:

-------------------header---------------------
-----------main-content--------------------
| |
| |
| |
| |
------------------------------------------------
-------------------footer---------------------

the header and footer mainly provide decoration.

when i put stuff n the main-content div. when view in firefox i get a gap between the top of the div and the content. it doesnt matter where this is text or images. the gap is there. the gap is not there in IE. can anyone explain whythis could be? It is a simple CSS/HTML site.

It depends on how it's marked up with positioning which would indicate one of many IE bugs. But sometimes this happens depending on what default margins and padding are used by different browsers. Most of us set all margins/padding to zero in css and then set each element to what we want to avoid such problems.
