This space is called "half-leading". It is half the difference between the value of line-height and font-size. If the image does not have the same space above it, it is because leading is not applied to replaced elements. -- Regards, Thierry www.tjkdesign.com | www.ez-css.org | @thierrykoblentz ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
