98628 - Cannot Align to bottom of Table

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 22274

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Andrew Bulmer]

There always seems to be ~5 pixels at the bottom of tables. Maybe it's just me,
but every time I try to align an image to the bottom edge of the table there is
always that 5 pixels between the image and the bottom edge. I've tried
VALIGN="BOTTOM", and VALIGN="ABSBOTTOM" in both the <tr> and <td> tags without
any luck.
I hope this isn't just due to my limited knowledge of html...

have you tried,
<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 ... > ?

and, could you possibly include an attachment as example ?

Most likely this is a dupe of bug 22274.
Reporter, do you see this in HTML (not XHTML) without a doctype?

Ok... I did a little more playing around with this... when i changed from png
images to gifs the problem seemed to go away. but when i made more changes, one
image aligned correctly while the other didn't. I put an example of a table with
png's at:
www.geocities.com/toastafari/
interestingly the image deosn't seem to aligne properly in ie5 either.

yes, i am having the same problem, seems as though the image isn't fully
alligned to the bottom.

however, i have a solution:
reporter:: you will have to use 'bottom-margin: 0' style.

so...
<td valign="bottom" align="left" style='bottom-margin: 0'>

sorry, seems as though i had found a fix, since mozilla aligned it to the bottom,
unfortunatly, upon refreshing the page again, that same 5ish pixel gap appeared :(

[Waheed Islam]

i tried every style possible, but I couldn't get that image to align to the
bottom, using both, mozilla and ie.

btw, i'm using, build: 20010911 03, on winnt

use img style="display :block" and everything works as intended. The testcases
should be loaded locally.
