Make sure you are using a DocType that renders standards based across
browsers.  HTML 4.01 Strict or xHTML 1.0 Strict.  Validate against those 

Validate your code using the HTML Validator http://validator.w3.org/  IE is
notorious for allowing bad code.

Remember that both Div and P are block level elements with margins.  Each
browser contains its own stylesheet that you overwrite.  Each stylesheet is
not consistent with the other.  Best thing to do to make things standard
across browsers is to 0 out all margins and padding first.

html * {margin:0; padding:0};  For IE6, which doesn't understand the
universal selector, you will need to create a comma delimited list of all
block level elements.

Subject: OT: CSS help?

Hey all,

I'm having an issue where I can't get rid of space above a div in Firefox. 
It's like the top margin is about 15 pixels.  I tried setting margin and 
padding to 0px, no dice.  It appears exactly as I would expect in IE, with 
the div right below the preceding text.

Basically the code is like this:
<p>Header text<br>
<div class="myclass">Div text</div>
</p>

On FF, there is about 15 pixel gap between "Header text" and "Div Text" --  
on IE there is just the normal line space gap that would be expected.

I tried taking out the <br>, no change.  I searched Google and didn't find 
anything that helped me.

I know there are some CSS gurus on this list so I'm hoping this is a known 
issue with a workaround, or someone can help.
