Sorry to disagree, but your CSS rules for the division are as follows:
#qotd {
background: #fff;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-align: left;
padding: 5px; <-- Applies 5px on all sides
border-color: #C60;
border-style: dotted;
border-width: thin;
}
And then after this you don't apply any styles to the first paragraph so it
has the default margin values. Try this:
#qotd p {
margin: 0;
}
And see if it makes a difference.

Subject: Re: [WSG] funky padding
Thanks for the response. The 5px padding is only applied to the left
and right (at least, that's what happens when viewing). I have no line
heights applied to that div, so I'm still not sure what's causing it.
I really just need to remove the extra space, but I can't figure out
where it's coming from!
