That must've been it. &nbsp;Adjusting the line-height worked fine. &nbsp;Thanks XM.

Hello Experts - <br />
A quick 500 points for someone.. &nbsp;Using the following DIV and assuming no further CSS specified elsewhere, why is there whitespace between the top of the text and the top border?<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-27413030-1">&lt;div style=&quot;border:1px solid black; height:30px; width:100px; padding:0; vertical-align:top;&quot;&gt;Fubar&lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
The left edge of the text sits immediately next to the left border (as expected) but the top doesn't do the same. &nbsp;Why, and how do I get rid of that whitespace? &nbsp;Thanks.<br />
<br />

Whitespace Above Text In a DIV With No Padding

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
