Re: [WSG] Firefox mystery space bug?
Hi Joe,
Extra space between s is often caused by a bottom margin overhang on the
content of the top . For example, say the element has a bottom margin
.of .6em. If this is the last element in the top you may get a space of
approx .6em between the top and bottom s.
The solution is either to set a custom class on the last element in the top div
to zero the bottom margin, or (preferred) add a dummy element under all content
in the top div with a zero'd bottom margin.
HTML
Last paragraph element.
CSS
p.end {
height: 1px;
margin: 0;
}
You might also want to set the visited state colour for the footer links to
something with greater contrast than purple on blue.

RE: [WSG] Firefox mystery space bug?
I get the big gap in FF 1.07. Interestingly the page renders without the gap until the main content is filled in, at which time the footer of the page 'jumps' down - creating the gap in question. I can't find anything out of the ordinary in your css, (although some shorthand would go down well) and no known bugs spring to mind. Oddly, the page looks fine in Ie, Opera 8 and even Netscape 6.2!!! My troubleshooting advice would be to remove and replace elements in the main content one at a time until you can see which is triggering the bug.. Let us know how you get on :) Paul -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christian Montoya Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2005 10:05 AM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] Firefox mystery space bug? > Joseph R.

I'm using FF 1.5 Beta 2, maybe they fixed the bug? What I did see, was if I visited http://hayteam.sitesbyjoe.com/default.asp#, the footer link styling was messed up, and wouldn't fix itself if I reloaded http://hayteam.sitesbyjoe.com/default.asp, I had to reload http://hayteam.sitesbyjoe.com.

Re: [WSG] Firefox mystery space bug?
That is very strange...when i 'edit css' via the web developers toolbar in ff the space goes away even after you close the 'edit css' window until you refresh...I have no idea. Buddy Joseph R. B.

I have also seen it creep on this site too: http://northstartraffic.com/default.asp It seems as though it is set off by content that is longer than the page, I've also gotten it to pop up more often when I fiddle with the declaration of link styles in the footer.

[WSG] Firefox mystery space bug?
Guys and gals, check this out. http://hayteam.sitesbyjoe.com/default.asp I get this occasional bug to show in Firefox for Windows. What happens is occasionally Firefox puts a big space at the bottom of my content before just before the footer as if I had a bunch of spaces in there. It doesn't always happen, but sometimes it shows up if I refresh a few times, then after another refresh it disappears.
