"img"'s in mozilla 1.4 and ie 6

Does anyone know the different ways that the latest versions of ie and mozilla handle images. Unfortunately I'm working on a development server so I can't show my example. However I'm putting multiple images in div's. In mozilla the images are seemless, like they should be with a border, margin, padding of 0. In ie though there is a 5 pixel or so gap. Any help would be appreciated.

I ran across this a while ago, and my solution was with stylesheets. I know there's probably a million ways to solve the problem and mine might be the least effective, but I hope you'll be able to get pointed in the right direction with the following:

Try setting the images' margins and padding to 0px; if that doesn't help, try using negitive values to force the images over... for example div > img {margin: -1.5em;}

As a general rule of thumb, I start my stylesheets wih * {margin: 0cm; padding: 0cm;} so that I'm starting from a "clean slate."

Best of luck,

Thanks for the help. Started with 0 values for all of the attributes in the style sheet and there will still gaps. I'll give the negative values a try tomorrow.

I wish there was an easy way to tell the differences on how the different browsers interperate the attributes. I have seen pages that show what they support, but there are certain things that they both seem to do, only differently. Argh, very frustrating. Thank you for the suggestion.

You might be seeing breaks due to whitespace between your image tags. I believe different browsers handle this differently depending on your DOCTYPE too. Try removing all the whitespcae (spaces, tabs, newlines, etc.) from between the images.

Yes, this might work as well. Try something similar to <img src="foo.gif"><img src="bar.gif" > with no spacing inbetween the img tags.

I tried changing the whitespace but it didn't make a difference. I'm going to move the pages to a different server so everyone can view it and post the code. This is driving me nuts!!!

Simply show us your markup; I'd be more than happy to take a look at it and see if I can help.
