37079 - default <img> adds a little bit of bottom margin...

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[James Lariviere]

I've noticed that the default rendering of images adds a little bit of a 
bottom "white space".  Here is my example:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
            "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<html lang="en">
<head>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
img {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	}
-->
</style>

</head>
<body>

<img src="http://www.mozilla.org/images/mozilla-banner.gif"><img 
src="http://www.mozilla.org/images/mozilla-banner.gif">
<img src="http://www.mozilla.org/images/mozilla-banner.gif">
<img src="http://www.mozilla.org/images/mozilla-banner.gif">

</body>
</html>

As you can see I set images to take out margin or padding. It doesn’t work 
because the "extra" space is still there.  The only way I could get the space 
to disappear is to add "display: block" to the rule.  However, I don't think 
this is a realistic solution...

[e-mail], please follow the Bug Writing Guidelines at 
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html -- in particular,
it is important that you specify your Platform and OS, as well as the Build ID,
which appears at the right-hand end of the status bar at the bottom of the 
browser window will look something like 2000042508.

Using the 2000-04-24-17-M16 nightly binary on WinNT 4.0, there is no space 
between the images in the testcase. Please respond if you see extra space
using a current nightly binary on any Platform or OS; otherwise, this report
will get marked WORKSFORME.

This bug is visible in M15 but not in the latest M16 nightlies (200042417).

yep it was just a bug in m15 and not in the current build  (2000042512). FIXED!

Can someone please re-open?

When viewing the testcase, I see the described behaviour (extra white-space
underneath the images) where there shouldn't be. I also see it in some of my
XHTML pages (with the appropriate DTD), which prompted me to look this bug up.

Bug occurs on Mozilla build 2001-01-05-08 (Mac OS 9) and, for reference, I've
also seen it on the final Netscape 6 (Mac OS 9).

This bug still affects Firefox 0.9 (I'm using a PC running Linux).

I'm currently using the display: block workaround...

Please re-open.
