Can you show this in an online example? I find that if I set all margins and paddings to 0, there is no space other than the line-height (which would be there in a div as well). > Without changing these heading elements to DIVs, is there any > good way to tighten things further?

An intro line is hardly a heading imho. -- Els http://locusmeus.com/ http://locusoptimus.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
