List,

I searched the archives... but the number of hits just overwhelmed me. I thought it best to check with the collective mind on this.

I'm coding my theme for blojsom (blojsom.sf.net) and I'm having a pixel-perfect moment, mentally really, I could be persuaded to get over it...

The details follow, but what I'm trying to get rid of, is the padding of the H2 element. I've done the regular things, but some persistent padding, I'll call it the "ascender padding," is pushing the first post off the top of the containing box (though the "descender padding" seems to have been correctly quashed in the CSS). The result is the first post leader is lower than the calendar header (caption) on its right. I've tried line-height variations along with the margin and padding set to 0 (zero).

So...as it stands right now...

The SAMPLE

1. Using topographic mode in Firefox's Web Developer plug-in:

2. Standard preview in Firefox:

The XHTML:

<div class="leader">
<h2 class="title">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet<a href="#" title="permalink"><img src="images/permalink.gif" alt="permanent link to post" width="17" height="16" /></a></h2>
</div>

The CSS:

        div.leader {
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
            font: bold 1em Verdana, Arial, Geneva, sans-serif;
        }

        div.leader h2.title {
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
        }

        div.leader h2.title a img {
            padding-left: .5em;
            vertical-align: middle;
        }

Most thankful,
Tim
