When placing text inside a P tag, the cell has a space above and below the tag. This is not present in other browers. What placing text inside a header tag (H1,H2,etc), the cell has a space above the text that is not present in other browsers.

confirming this behavior is present in M14 on win98 (build ID 2000022820). whether or not its correct remains to be seen ;-) NN 4.x and IE 5 on win32 both have the "intended" behavior from the original report (no space above the h1 text, etc.)

this may be related to (or a dup of) bug 15316. alec@intellipro.com, can you have a glance at that bug, and decide if this is close enough to close out?

I think bug 15316 is a seperate issue since that's outside a table. Mozilla and the other browsers both recognize that space needs to be added following H1, but Mozilla is just a few pixels short. In this bug however, the fact that the H1 and P tags are in a cell makes a big difference since the other browsers leave no extra space while Mozilla adds a whole line. For whatever reasons, the other browsers have set the standard that the cell should be collapsed around the P tag even though it's a block element and Mozilla doesn't do this.

fair enough. marking as NEW. if someone can confirm that the issues in 15316 do in fact apply here, this can probably be marked duplicate.

Should this be changed back for quirks mode? (This was caused by making table cells a margin root, I assume. See bug 27043.)

I don't see any space above using the latest build. There was a problem there, but that was fixed by adding a rule to htnl.css so that the first child of the td doesn't have a top margin There is a difference in how much bottom margin is displayed and so reassigning to buster to look at that issue

Pierre, it looks like we are going to need a :last-node equivalent of the existing :first-node extension... Then fixing this bug is as simple as adding td > *:last-node { margin-bottom: 0; } ...to html.css. How likely is it that you could add that selector?

Agreed, we can add :last-node. Reassigned to myself.

thanks, pierre. please reassign back to me once :last-node is added if there is more work to be done here in the block code

Fixed (added :last-node and updated html.css per Ian's suggestion)

Fixed in the May 31 build.
