The layout is correct and the gap is caused by the "text-indent : 4px" style for BODY. --> TE

*** Bug 168784 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
There is at least one responsible webmaster in the world. The formerly misplaced cell now has text-indent: 0px applied to it.

Has this been fixed? Body style "text-indent : 4px" should not affect TD style. The formerly misplaced cell now has text-indent: 0px applied to it. But this ad-hoc formatting is redundant and shouldn't be there, right? Cheers, Gratou
For the definitive answer you should probably consult a CSS wizard like Eric Meyer or CodeBitch, but to the best of my understanding if you have text-indent applied to the body, it should affect the first line of every block-level element within (including TD).

Mmmm. I have no clue about the exact specs of CSS, and I don't know these people. The thing is that either µ$ or mozilla are not up to the specs. IE considers <TD> shouldn't follow <BODY> styles. Mozilla thinks it should. If Mozilla is right, there has never been a defect, and this is µ$ playing with the standards again. If not, this should be fixed. Unfortunately, reporting this discrepancy in behaviour is the only thing I can do. I must leave it up to you to do whatever is necessary to make Mozilla a winner. Thanks!
It took some time and research to determine this, but the answer is Yes. Mozilla is following the CSS2 specification and certain other browsers are cheating. See bug 22274 and http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2002/img-table/ for details.
Depends on: 22274
