Hi all,

i have problems using div containers including graphics.

Here is the example:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<style type="text/css"><!--
#pic {
position:absolute;
left:450px; top:350px; width:300px; height:143px;
background-color:#efefef;"
}
// --></style>
</HEAD>

<div id=pic>

</div>

</HTML>

The div container has exactly the same height as the picute loaded into it.

Nevertheless, MSIE shows a small (2-3 px) border in teh background color at the bottom of the picture. Mozilla shows everything right.

Could someone give some hints?

Tnx
Norbert

MSIE enlarges div containers

Suprisingly, a similar problem to [url=http://www.csscreator.com/css-node/51 thread about the <li> tag[/url]

Setting your code out as follows:

<div id=pic><img...></div>

removes the problem. IE does like to print whitespace wherever it can!
