  1. POHTML Strict increases line height
    text
    copied!<p>Why does XHTML 1.0 Strict display a line height as appearing larger than a line height of the same value in XHTML 1.0 Transitional?</p> <p>This therefore pushing down content within table cells (i.e Hotmail in Firefox, Gmail in IE and Firefox). Has anyone else experienced this issue and know a way around it?</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Heres an example code for each XHTML type:</p> <p>Transitional:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt; &lt;title&gt;Untitled Document&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;table width="500" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="line-height:18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="line-height:18px; font-size:16px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;This cell will be larger in Strict&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Strict:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt; &lt;title&gt;Untitled Document&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;table width="500" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="line-height:18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="line-height:18px; font-size:16px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;This cell will be larger in Strict&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>
