IE and FF problem with inserting hor space

K

KiwiBrian

I wish to use CSS to insert a defined height of horizontal spacing between a
number of images in a vertical column of a table.
I wish to be able to control the spacing in pixels from 1 upwards, and I
wish it to be displayed as the same amount of vertical spacing in both IE6
and Firefox.
After many trials I am asking for a recommended method.
Thanks

img {padding-bottom: 15px;}

doesn't work?

Care to share your trials? Or at least the closest you've got?

I have just tried on a page with the following doctype:-

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

the following test:-

<img style="padding-bottom: 1px;" src="images/advert.gif" width="180"
height="130">
<img style="padding-bottom: 1px;" src="images/advert.gif" width="180"
height="130">
<img src="images/advert.gif" width="180" height="130"></div>

This produced a significant discrepancy in the displayed height of the
inter-image gap between IE6 and Firefox 1.5.0.5
Comments?

Further investigation showed that Mark's solution was correct.
My discrepancies were caused by the "Whitespace Bug" in IE6.
In other words the successive image tags must be in one
continuous/contiguous string, and not each on it's own line in the source.
Even the concluding </td> must not be on the next line.
Grrrrr.
