Hello,
When the example HTML below is viewed on IE 6, "Text" and "Heading" line up.
On Mozilla 1.5, they don't; there's blank space above "Heading".
What is the best way to make Mozilla look like IE?
The only thing that comes to mind is to use something like <h3
style="margin-top: 0"> in place of the first <h3>. But that seems very
dirty. Surely there must be a better way to tell Mozilla "no margin on the
first/last block elements of a table cell", i.e. "behave like IE"?
Thanks,
Todd Parker

Since Mozilla mostly follows the specifications, wouldn't it be more
interesting to make IE look like Mozilla?

Thanks, but this affects *all* the <h3> elements inside the cell. Note that
in my example, there's a second <h3> element in the middle. I still want the
space above that <h3>, just not the unnecessary space at the top of the cell
(or the bottom, if I were to put an <h3> or other block element there).
I'm trying to find a way to avoid having to resort to separate styles for
top/middle/bottom elements just to work around this Mozilla quirk...

Sorry but the Mozilla behavior is not the look I want. :)
I want the content of my table cells to be flush to the edges with no
redundant space. I don't want there to be space sometimes and sometimes not,
depending on whether a block element is used inside the cell.

Post an url of the actual page with real data, the code you posted looks
like you are abusing tables for layout.

The first H3 inside any cell can be selected by the following:
td h3:first-child, td h3:first-child {margin-top: 0;}
Not supported by IE, but as IE seems to be giving you the style you
want anyway (through either a bug or a different default value) that's
not a problem in this case.
In CSS3 there will be a last-child selector as well, but as that's
still some way off I wouldn't expect any browser support for the time
being.

Not using table layout.

well, of course you can say
td *:first-child {margin-top:0}
That would also match inline elements, but wouldn't break anything
IIRC, IE thinks there isn't margin on top of headings, and mozilla thinks
there is by default. Or was that with paragraphs. Maybe it is both.

Beautiful! That appears to be exactly what I've been searching for.

Okay, I can live with that. My main issue was getting stuff at the top to
line up horizontally. Extra space at the bottom isn't so noticable since my
table actually doesn't have a border.
Thanks Steve, and to everyone else who replied.

Also, if your DOCTYPE header is XHTML and your code is not (like here)
mozilla ang konqueror display a different rendering; actually, they do not
render well.
I do not know for iexplore.
Bonne chance!
